A fleet of bullheads landed on the Vale city Import Docks belonging to the Glade Logisticsl Company. The insignia of a Snowflake Etched into the containers they were carrying.

6:20 AM

A foreman walked over to the petite young lady oveseeing the import.

6:21 AM

"M'am, we should have the trucks loaded and the merchandise in the warehouses in three to four hours."

"Very well, continue the good work and keep me notified if anything irregular happens" She says in a practiced prim and proper voice before going back to watching the import and checking all the records' details

The man nods and makes himself scarce, preferring not to be within the sightline of his Boss' boss' boss.

6:35 AM

The loading process goes relatively well, Dockworkers using cranes to load up the freight Containers to the trucks while the paperwork gets processed.

6:35 AM

By the time two hours are up, the whole truck fleet is ready to move.

6:36 AM

Of course this is when things decide to take a lefthand turn into oncoming traffic.

6:37 AM

-# "WHITE FANG!"

6:37 AM

Someone shouts from the distance.

6:37 AM

-# Bang

6:37 AM

A gunshot. (edited)

6:37 AM

Followed by the rapid pitter patter of feet running towards the trucks.

Violet puts down her clipboard and unslings Gilded Ambition from her back before running to where the noise came from "Of course those scum decide to further ruin society by existing once more today" She mutters under her breath

She reaches the first group before they manage to enter the Truck. A pair of masked faunus, a feline and a bird.

"You have 2 options in front of you, you may either surrender yourself to the proper authorities alongside whoever else you came here with today. Or you may try and face me and suffer the consequences."

They chose to draw their weapons and sneer at her.

6:45 AM

"A filthy human who works for the schnee cannot beat back the white fang!" The feline exclaimed.

"I do believe that is a poor decision on your part but very well, I have been needing some relief after todays paperwork" She says as she raises Gilded Ambition for combat

The feline faunus proceeded to start blasting the bitchy rich girl in the face.

She blocks all of these shots with her axe before returning in kind, swinging her axe in massive arcs of flashing steel, the gold trimming flashing in the street light She combos the Bird faunus into the air and as she notices that he's been knocked out she turns and uses her momentum to deliver a monumental swing to the feline faunus before finishing them off "Typical of white fang, all fear no skill"

-#

7:11 AM

By the other trucks, the sound of gunfire keeps going as the private security forces arrive and help hold off the white fang.

Violet quickly makes her way towards the gunfire

The rest of the white fang seem to be stuck behind cover as the automated turrets on the trucks set supressive fire down on them.

Violet allows herself a small smile at this opportunity before activating her railgun and bracing for the backblast The railgun cracks like lightning and the sharpened steel round rockets forwards, hitting 4 white fang members, instantly taking them out of comission

"THEY HAVE HEAVY ARTILLERY!"

A faunus shouts over the loud bark of the Railgun fletchette breaking the speed of sound three times over.

7:24 AM

"GRAB THE INJURED! WE'RE LEAVING!"

7:27 AM

They rush forth to grab the ones knocked out or injured before retreating to a bullhead waiting for them.

7:32 AM

The airship takes off, the emblem of the White Fang etched on the side.

Violet sees the fleeing White Fang and thinks to herself that if they escape it will only cause more problems in the future So she takes a knee and begins the complicated process of reloading Gilded Ambition, before taking aim and firing at one of the Bullhead's thrusters (edited)

Not very much a smart idea, considering the Bullhead was flying over the city, thankfully, she would never get to see the consequences of her actions as the world goes Crimson, the very air itself seeming to bleed as the Tungsten flechette is parried out of the air by a Black and Red blur. Even at this distance, Violet can feel a gaze of Hatred burning through her.

Violet mentally slaps herself for her impulsive action before mechashifting her weapon and walking towards the private security

The men seem shaken, she can see a Triage set up behind one of the trucks with several heavily injured, blood pooling on the ground.

7:51 AM

"...M'am. Most of the cargo is secure, they manage to take one of the trucks."

"Good work, that one truck can be covered by insurance so it's fine. Have you called medical personal yet?"

"Ambulances are on the way. Along with the police."

"Good, I dealt with some White Fang on my way to this area, if anyone is uninjured send them to guard them until police arrive. They were unconscious but they may use this opportunity to escape"

He salutes.

7:57 AM

"Yes M'am"

'I wonder if Father and Mother would be proud of what i was able to do?' Violet thinks to herself '.....No the majority escaped and there was that...red flash that knocked my railgun flechette away, I still need to get better.'

# ==================

3:06 PM

A sharply dressed man with a Snowflake shaped brooch attached to his jacket got out of a luxury car, strutting down the corridors of the Most Luxurious Hotel in Vale as if it was his home, the man quickly made his way to the dining hall and sat down. Waiting to be served.

After a few moments of waiting, a mauve-haired girl in the hotel's uniform walks up to the man's table, and greets him with an apologetic bow. "Our sincerest apologies sir, due to a delay by the catering company, we do not have enough appetizers for all the guests. We are unsure if the remainder of the portion will arrive on time, but we may offer an extra portion of one of the desert menu items in the meantime. Would you like me to take your jacket as you wait?" she says, smiling at him politely.

The man, having already began twitching in irritation before she arrived, scoffs.

3:34 PM

"To think this great establishment had fallen so low, we were treated better by the animals that used to be on staff than we are now." He scoffs angrily. "Take my jacket and have a busboy run down to the nearest restraunt to grab me a full course meal."

3:35 PM

He reaches into an inner pocket and removes a pack of cigars and a gilded zippo, ignoring the No Smoking Indoors sign and lighting it.

She looks like she wants to say something about the obvious racism, but keeps her mouth shut as she neatly folds the man's jacket over an arm to carry away. As she notices his following action though, she pipes up, "um... apologies for the presumption sir, but we would like to ask that there is no smoking indoors, for the benefit of the other guests. May we ask that you relocate to the exterior lounge if you wish to finish your cigar?"

He bites down on his cigar. "You, maid, do not speak unless spoken to or called for." The man resumes his smoking, typing away at his scroll.

She blinks at him, before backing off and motioning for another member of staff to come over to take his requests for food, and perhaps convince him to stop smoking as long as he is 'only' racist and sexist.

He proceeds to remind the next attendant very loudly that he owns fourty percent shares on this hotel and promptly fires the man on the spot.

She blinks at that, stunned, backing away a little more quickly before the man decides the first attendant deserves the same punishment. 'Did he really just do that? Frickin- no, fucking SDC execs' she thinks, correcting the vulgarity in her head. 'I actually kinda liked John too... one of the only humans here who genuinely tried to treat faunus equally. The absolute nerve of that man to just ruin someone's financial livelihood like that.' As she ducks into another room and makes sure nobody is looking, she thinks, 'well, eye for an eye I suppose,' as she looks down towards the man's jacket in her arms- more specifically, at the numbers of the access card still in it, poking out of its pocket

SCENE BREAK

4:12 PM

A shutter door for a safety deposit hangar bay beeps and starts rattling as it rises. The pitter patter of feet on concrete echoing across the inside of the SDC warehouse.

A shadowy figure immediately rushes into the warehouse, taking cover behind one of the crates as it pans its head around over the top to survey the area, a previously hidden pair of cat ears perched atop

No security alert and no sound of police. It was safe.

4:18 PM

Her excellent night vision didnt pick up and traps either.

Feeling confident in her assessment, she makes her way to the most expensive looking box in the warehouse, prying off the top with the support of a surprisingly large amount of aura (but more importantly with a crowbar)

The Crate popped open after she put her weight on the crowbar, the small unlocked latches on the side popping off and going flying into the warehouse.

Wincing at the sound of the latches hitting the ground, she quickly looks inside to see its contents

A shining silver rapier and several dust crystals in a strafoam case.

'Oh good, dust. This... how's this weapon supposed to work? I don't see anywhere it would mechashift' she thinks, picking out the contents of the crate

A cylindrical part near the hilt slides out, showing three capsules where a dust shard could easily fit.

Holding it in her hands, she experimentally slots in three dust crystals before placing the remainder in her bag. 'Get fucked Schnees, mine now' she thinks, getting into the mood as she moves over to the next crate with the weapon in her hands, blowing off steam by stabbing the sword into the top and using it to wrench the crate open

Before she can really go through the box, something deeper into the warehouse topples and breaks as red lights come on.

4:50 PM

INTRUDER ALERT

4:51 PM

That's probably bad...

4:51 PM

Panels on the ceiling open as Atlesian Knights in SDC regalia drop to the floor, their soulless Robotic eyes glowing red.

"Already? Oh, you can NOT be serious, who fucking-" she growls, looking more annoyed than anything else despite her position, before looking at the sword. "Well okay, guess it's time to see how this thing works then," she says, glancing back and forth between the robots and the exit (edited)

"A ball of gravity..."

"A ball of fire..."

"Combine the two different dust expressions for a single effect..."

[Trailer title splash drop] "PURPLE"

The robots and crates of dust in the warehouse begin floating towards the gravity dust anomaly before the fire dust reaches it and sets a chain reaction. The schokwave throws you away from the warehouse, allowing you to watch as a gargantuan glacier began growing from the building, reaching for the heavens while elemental fury crackled on its jagged edges.

shouldn't have fired john

The distant sound of police sirens approached while she heard the sounds of a Bullhead engine begin heating up behind her. (edited)

5:41 PM

Time to scram, it seems.

# ===============

2:28 PM

Far from the walls of Vale, a frontier village Burned. Sending thick plumes of smoke into the air, the despair emanating from the dying town calling grimm from miles and miles away.

[1;2m[1;33mBIRD'S EYE VIEW[0m[0m - Somewhere at and from a distance, a lone girl, clad in blue cape and silver armor, looked up.

[2;33m[1;33m[1;34m[1;34mCHARLEMAGNE[0m[1;34m[0m[1;33m[0m[2;33m[0m [2;30m[Easy: Failure][0m - For too long, if she was to be honest. Some small seedling of doubt and hesitation clouding her mind, whether or not she should do it, whether it was better to call someone more qualified- 

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m [2;30m[Medium: Success][0m - but there wasn't enough time. She ran forward.

[2;33m[1;33mVEILLANTIF[0m[2;33m[0m - One step after the other

[2;35m[1;35mFURIOSO[0m[2;35m[0m - Faster, faster, faster!

The girl dashed through the dense forests of Northeastern Sanus, deftly maneuvering around deep roots and overgrown shrubbery to quickly arrive at the site of the tragedy.

2:45 PM

2:46 PM

A Village. Burning and overran by Grimm.

[2;34m[4;34mINNAMORATO[0m[2;34m[0m - A tragedy

[2;33m[1;33mVEILLANTIF[0m[2;33m[0m - A trap?

[2;34m[1;34mCHARLEMAGNE[0m[2;34m[0m - What? No, come on, let's help anyone who's left

[2;35m[1;35mFURIOSO[0m[2;35m[0m - AND DO WHAT MUST BE DONE

2:49 PM

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - She continued to run across the burning architecture, swiftly-

[2;33m[1;33mVEILLANTIF[0m[2;33m[0m - quietly 

[2;33m[1;33mBIRD'S EYE VIEW[0m[2;33m[0m - searching for survivors

Deeper into the village she went, leaping past the low walls of Pike which had failed to keep the grimm at bay.

[2;34m[1;34mANGELICA[0m[2;34m[0m [2;30m[2;30m[Trivial: Failure][0m[2;30m[0m - I've got nothing 

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - Oh come on, really?

She dashes around the village looking for survivors, yet all she sees is grimm attacking the central buildings masonry.

[2;34m[1;34mINNAMORATO[0m[2;34m[0m - No, no, no, it can't be. She can't be that late-

[2;34m[1;34mCHARLEMAGNE[0m[2;34m[0m [2;34m[1;34m[1;30m[1;30m[1;30m[1;30m[Challenging: Failure][0m[1;30m[0m[1;30m[0m[1;30m[0m[1;34m[0m[2;34m[0m - Yet she is, and nothing can change that.

[2;35m[1;35mFURIOSO[0m[2;35m[0m - YOU'RE WRONG. SHE JUST NEEDS TO [2;31mKILL THEM ALL[0m

Her rising negativity caused some of the grimm who were busy attacking the building to turn around and focus on her. Bale red eyes glowing with clear malice, the beasts roared and rushed at her.

[2;33m[1;33mVEILLANTIF[0m[2;33m[0m - Despite the countless times you've met and slain these foul creatures, you almost jolt back.

[2;34m[1;34mCHARLEMAGNE[0m[2;34m[0m [2;30m[Challenging: Failure][0m - It's sorrow. Fear. Hate. Some combination of all of them. What are you even doing here? Why won't you turn back?!

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m[2;30m [Medium: Success][0m - You won't.

[2;34m[1;34mCHARLEMAGNE[0m[2;34m[0m - Wait, what? That's it? That's all you're gonna say?

[2;33m[1;33mBIRD'S EYE VIEW[0m[2;33m[0m - You could only see the darkness wash away under a tide of blinding light.

[2;34m[1;34mANGELICA[0m[2;34m[0m - They didn't disappear. And you didn't kill them. Your weapons systematically evicted them from base reality. Broke them down to base chunks of tar and malediction. Crushed under a hail of bullets. Is this what you were afraid of?

[2;34m[1;34mCHARLEMAGNE[0m[2;34m[0m - I...

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - Great heroics. Great killings. This strength is what separates heroes from good samaritans. But it doesn't make you who you *are.* Keep looking. Keep running.

[2;34m[1;34m[1;34mINNAMORATO[0m[1;34m[0m[2;34m[0m - If there are survivors left. You must save them.

[2;34m

[1;34mANGELICA[0m[2;34m[0m [2;30m[Godly: Success][0m [2;32m(Box Cars)[0m - The Central Building. You've seen those in your trips around the kingdom before. Vast and armored fortresses built by struggling human hands.

[2;33m[1;33mVEILLANTIF[0m[2;33m[0m - They thought that it would keep them safe.

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - You could be right! Onward!

As she Banged on the Oaken doors of the Bunker, she heard frantic scrambling from the inside, a slat of wood opening on the massive doors.

4:19 PM

"Hello? Have the huntsmen from Vale arrived?"

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - Yes, yes. You *are* a Huntsman, aren't you?

[2;34m[1;34mANGELICA[0m[2;34m[0m - *Huntress.* There's a distinction 

[2;35m[1;35m[1;33mVEILLANTIF[0m[1;35m[0m[2;35m[0m - Who cares?

[2;34m[1;34mCHARLEMAGNE[0m[2;34m[0m - You do. It's who you are.

[2;34m[1;34mINNAMORATO[0m[2;34m[0m - Now, now, there's people here! Don't keep them waiting. Tell them you're here.

[2;31m1. "Hello?"
2. "You're safe now."
3. "Not a huntsman yet, I'm still in training."
4. Sob incoherently.[0m

[2;36m[2;34m[2;36m[1;36mYOU[0m[2;36m[0m[2;34m[0m[2;36m - "Hello?"[0m

The Man behind the slit seems to take in the surroundings.

4:30 PM

"Are all the Grimm gone?"

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - Tell them your exploits

[2;35m[1;35mFURIOSO[0m[2;35m[0m - YOU KILLED THEM ALL

[2;34m[1;34mANGELICA[0m[2;34m[0m - No, there's still some left in the outskirta. Warn them.

[2;31m1. " It was tough, and they were fierce...But in the end, I was victorious."
2. "Yes. I killed them all."
3. "No, sorry. I've only cleared out a couple hundred of them. I think a few grimm are still left."[0m


[2;36m[1;36mYOU[0m[2;36m - "No, sorry. I've only cleared out a couple hundred of them. I think a few grimm are still left."[0m

The man blinks before shaking his head. "Is the evacuation bullhead close by?"

[2;33m[1;33mVEILLANTIF[0m[2;33m[0m - Wait, is it?

[2;34m[1;34mANGELICA[0m[2;34m[0m [2;30m[Impossible: Failure][0m - You don't know. You could've called for help earlier, but you didn't. And you don't know when this incident occured, or if professional huntsmen has even been dispatched to this location yet

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - That's alright. You're here now.

[2;35m[1;35mFURIOSO[0m[2;35m[0m - YOU CAN TAKE THEM

[2;34m[1;34mCHARLEMAGNE[0m[2;34m[0m [Easy: Failure] - Can you?

[2;31m[0m[2;31m1. "No. I was lucky enough to be around when I saw the smoke. I don't know how close other huntsmen are. Stay here for a while. I'll clear out the rest of the Grimm while you hold on."
2. "It's just me, baby."
3. "Who needs bullheads when I've got guns like these?"
4. ...what the hell are the other three options?[0m

[2;36m[1;36m[1;36m[1;36mYOU[0m[1;36m - ...what the hell are the other three options?
[0m[1;36m[0m[2;36m[0m
[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - What? You're not wrong

[2;35m[1;35mFURIOSO[0m[2;35m[0m - YOU DON'T LIKE IT?

[2;34m[1;34mANGELICA[0m[2;34m[0m - Just...


[2;31m1. "No. I was lucky enough to be around when I saw the smoke. I don't know how close other huntsmen are. Stay here for a while. I'll clear out the rest of the Grimm while you hold on."
2. "It's just me, baby."

"Ah. We called for a huntsman from Vale from inside the Bunker, we have a Transmit booster here. The other huntsmen should be arriving in time, so we'd rather you stay nearby!"

[2;34m[1;34mINNAMORATO[0m[2;34m[0m - You've started your sentences with No twice already in this conversation. Change things up, love.

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - It's only right.

[2;31m1. [Nod and stay]
2. "I'd rather not put you guys in harm's way if danger comes to us." [Keep your distance]
3. "Of course, of course. I'll keep you guys safe, I promise." [Nod and stay][0m

[2;36m[1;36mYOU[0m[2;36m -  "Of course, of course. I'll keep you guys safe, I promise." [Nod and stay][0m

Now that a majority of the grimm were silenced, you could barely hear the distant sound of a Bullhead's engine roaring, nearly inaudible over the sound of the roaring fires across the village.

[2;33m[1;33mOLIFANT[0m[2;33m[0m - The noise that comes from wind being whipped away and about at near supersonic speeds by dust engines meant to save dozens, maybe hundreds of people, blasts across the air as rumbling sound waves pass through your chest.

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - It is an unusual sensation 

[2;34m[1;34mCHARLEMAGNE[0m[2;34m[0m [Trivial: Failure] - You know who will await you behind those windshields. Real heroes. Experts who've spent their lives dedicating themselves to this task. Despite everything you've done today, you can't help but feel just as helpless as you were before.

[2;34m[1;34mANGELICA[0m[2;34m[0m - What the hell is he talking about?

[2;33m[1;33m[1;35m[1;35mFURIOSO[0m[1;35m[0m[1;33m[0m[2;33m[0m - YOU KILLED THEM

The Bullhead landed in the destroyed village, the bay doors lowering as a singular portly man stepped off, holding an Axe with a weirdly shaped handle as he surveyed the area.

He noticed the decaying grimm and the young lady guarding the bunker, starting to laugh boisterously.

5:38 PM

"OHOHO, MY DAYS! TO THINK A YOUNGSTER WOULD BEAT ME TO THE PREY? WHY I MUST BE GETTING ON IN MY YEARS! TELL ME CHILD, WERE YOU THE ONE TO SLAY THESE WRETCHED BEASTS AND SAVE THE GOODFOLK OF HARLEM?"

5:38 PM

The portly man's voice projected quite strongly.

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - An actual hero

[2;35m[1;35mFURIOSO[0m[2;35m[0m - *His* prey? They were yours, fair and square. Teach this unusual fat man a lesson. Feed him his own blubber.

[2;34m[1;34mCAROLINGIAN CYCLE[0m[2;34m[0m - A siren of the land. Each second he speaks will put you closer to sleep. Cover your ears

ANGELICA - Shut up, look at him.

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - He holds his weapon with confidence 

[2;35m[1;35mFURIOSO[0m[2;35m[0m - AND? HE'S FAT AND OLD

[2;34m[1;34mANGELICA[0m[2;34m[0m - *Yes.* He's *old.* What even is the average lifespan of a huntsman?

[2;34m[1;34mCAROLINGIAN CYCLE[0m[2;34m[0m - Shorter than you'd hope.

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - In a profession where men die young.

[2;33m[1;33mVEILLANTIF[0m[2;33m[0m - Fear the old ones.

He stood there, waiting for a response, mustache twitching once in a while.

[2;34m[1;34mINNAMORATO[0m[2;34m[0m - Enough dilly dallying. You've always wanted to meet someone of his stature, greet him!

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL[0m[2;35m[0m - Tell him of your exploits , then ask him for some stories, It's only polite
[2;34m[1;34m
CAROLINGIAN CYCLE[0m[2;34m[0m - DON'T 

[2;31m1. "Hello, sir. Yes, I've cleared out the Grimm in this area."
2. "Mhm! It only took a few seconds, but they all went *splat!* Say, did you come to slay the Grimm here too? Are you a huntsman!?"

[2;36m[0m[2;31m[2;36m[1;36mYOU[0m[2;36m - "Mhm! It only took a few seconds, but they all went *splat!* Say, sir...Did you come to slay the Grimm here too? Are you a real huntsman!?"[0m[2;31m[0m

He laughed again. "WHY OF COURSE! I AM PROFESSOR PORT OF BEACON ACADEMY! ALL AROUND MASTER OF GRIMM SLAYING! TEACHER OF THE GRIMM STUDIES CLASS!

The civillians were quickly ferried to the bullhead as they stood watch. After everyone was loaded, the Girl and the Portly man entered the cabin and they took off.

====================

8:51 AM

A Lithe figure stalked a rooftop. Gazing out at a Warehouse across the street.

8:54 AM

Glaring at a collection of Faunus barely out of view from the street, keeping an eye out for the ground floor entrances to the Warehouse. (edited)

Azuli calmly took a moment to take inventory of her prepared gear, that mainly being a very official looking clipboard, some rope, and some duct tape, and some saboteurs tools to destroy the dust supplies, before taking a moment to glance over the area, doing her best to analyze anything that may be of use for entering, and anything else notable about Torchwick's cronies around (edited)

9:05 AM

She attempted to stealth, even as she memorized the patrols of the flunkies wandering around

Sadly, she forgot about the perfect night vision of Faunus. "Who goes there?"

9:07 AM

A guard called out, having spotted her from some fifty feet away.

9:08 AM

He took out a walkie talkie.

9:08 AM

"Control, movement on sector 3, im going to check it out."

Azuli blinked before jumping down, boldly coming into bold view as she strolled over towards the guard "

.

" She signed quickly, boldly acting her ass off

3

9:12 AM

She then pulled out her very official looking clipboard, noting some stuff down

9:12 AM

"

The guy blinked. Taking out his Walkie again. "Control, there is some Mute Human with a clipboard telling me i did a good job, whats going on?"

9:16 AM

There was a few moments of silence before another voice responded. "I swear to god you animals are worthless, repeat."

9:16 AM

The Faunus twitched. "Tell your mute pet to stop distracting the guards, Roman."

9:16 AM

The man glared at Azuli.

9:17 AM

Holding the walkie in a tight grip.

Azuli rolled her eyes, giving the guard a look and an obvious huff, before attempting to saunter on past into the warehouse "

"

5

His eye twitched before he went back to his standard route. The rest of the guards at the door ignored her, having heard the conversation over the radio.

With entry having been achieved, Azuli promptly decided to go checking around, deciding to look almost bored in a sort of busy disinterest as she decided to check around for anywhere of relevant note. Most notably whereever they were keeping the dust.

9:23 AM

She offhandedly held the clipboard, giving it periodic glances, though making sure it was generally in sight

The tippy taps of a hardbottom shoe echoed in the warehouse, slowly approaching.

9:24 AM

"Neo! I thought you would be gone for a few days, what's brought you back to Vale so early?"

6

9:24 AM

A male voice called out from a short distance.

"

" She signed, portraying a sort of dry, mostly hidden sadistic amusement, and exasperation "

"

He paused.

9:30 AM

"You're not Neo."

9:31 AM

He pulled up his Cane and aimed at Azuli.

9:32 AM

"Now missy you got approximately five seconds to gimme an excuse not to turn you into red mist."

9:32 AM

A small aiming reticle popped out of the bottom.

9:35 AM

"Now i'll give you that, your acting is on point, not a lot of people can convey how sadistic Ice Cream is, but i know her too well to fall for some amateur acting."

She shrugged, and light heartedly tossed the clipboard at him "

" She signed, even as she prepped for her mostly glorious plan. She then promptly moved to fire a shot, aimed at his cane.

She was promptly unsurprised, yet still unhappy as he fired a rather large and potent explosive from the end of the cane (edited)

2

9:55 AM

She took it to her aura, firing off her arm blade from where it lay sheathed as she stabbed at him with it, before using the anchor to retract herself as she flew over, launching a punch at his face

He smacked her leading fistto the side.

9:57 AM

"Come on, you can do better than that!"

She promptly fired the blade out again, angled a bit upwards towards his face, nearly at the ceiling behind them from where he'd came

He taunted, hooking the cane around her wrist and keping the hidden blade away.

She moved to retract the blade attached to the ceiling, attempting to pull herself out of the way of the impending cane strike (edited)

10:11 AM

It went poorly, Azuli glancing down in suprise as she spotted the cane hooked around her foot. "

"

Roman laughed at the attemp to escape, hitting her with an uppercut from his cane, hooking the cane aroud her foot on the way up and bouncing her off the floor.

Shinigami/Azuli Lapipielle

It went poorly, Azuli glancing down in suprise as she spotted the cane hooked around her foot. "

"

-# Surprise*

Azuli, upon realizing she was hilariously outclassed, promptly fired her blade upwards through the skylight, pulling herself up through the glass. She attempted to throw a combustion crystal down as she went, only for it to be sniped out of her hands by Torchwick's grenade launcher

10:54 AM

She followed up by launching a shot overloaded with combustion dust at the containers inside, before turning and fucking off.

"COME ON BLUE! YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!"

"

" She signed angrily, totally ignoring the part where he could not in fact see her (edited)

Torchwick parried the second combustion shot out of the air.

10:59 AM

The man chewed on his Cigar as the Mute assassin left, taking out his phone and calling someone as he turned and looked at a pinboard with a map of Vale. (edited)

On the way out she dropped an anonymous concerned citizens report to the police about explosions at a warehouse, using a 'Borrowed' Scroll. Because fuck that guy

"Hey Neo? You would not believe what just happened to me. Some mute shortstack tried to assassinate me, I know right? How original, anyway we're changing bases, call me when you come back to Vale."

7:22 AM

The Airship fleet, ready to take Hunstmen hopefuls to Beacon for initiation were going through their Pre Flight checks.

Azuli was standing around and going through the motions, absentmindedly despising everything. Stupid bum ass Hat wearing Hobo with his god damn grenade launcher sniper

There's a Monkey Faunus sleeping in one of the seats (edited)

7:27 AM

(facedrop)

Eyes of a thousand yard stare or something

"No- Yes- I already quadruple checked everything- No I don't need that- Mom I literally spent two hours preparing, I've checked everything I need already-" The small smith talked as he walked, assuring her mother as she dragged a pair of loaded luggage towards one of the bullheads. "Yes, it's not like we're not allowed to take in more stuff- No I don't need more skirts- Mom- I'm already fine with my earrings I don't need more, besides, the gold one you just got is tacky."

The ship rumbled as the Bay doors started to slowly close, the Airship starting to take to the air as the intercom came on.

7:31 AM

"Keep away from the bay doors for your own safety, Next stop: Beacon."

Monkey put his feet up the neck rest

"Okokokokokokokwe'reabouttotskeoffbye-" the the smith said as she excitedly turned off the call and shrunk it, pocketing the device and plastering her face on the window on her seat to watch the flight.

Azuli walked through the airship as she awaited the trip, taking a seat across the isle from the strange Monkey man, and next to the over excited girl trying to fuse her face into the window pane

7:34 AM

"

Even in his sleep monkey pulling chicks

The Ship quite quickly overtook the tallest buildings in Vale, the city skyline being visible for the occupants.

7:36 AM

The smith notices and nods as a way of greeting the mute stranger before sticking her face back to the window, watching the buildings zoom past them as they fly through the city.

As they reach cruising altitude, the beacon hopefuls begin mingling. A colorful bunch.

"

7:39 AM

She waved cutely at anybody who was looking at her funny and looked very innocent

A short Redhead gave her an extra funny look.

She gave her a wink and blew her a cheeky little joking kiss

Shinigami/Azuli Lapipielle

She waved cutely at anybody who was looking at her funny and looked very innocent

The smith who knew the barest sign language of just the letters, chuckled after a moment of processing it.

Monkey undisturbed, unbothered, Slumbered

Focusing back on her excitement, HOLY FUCKING SHIT LOOK AT THE SICK WEAPONS AROUND THEM-

7:43 AM

The fairly slow wannabe huntress walks around everyone, dragging two consideravbly heavy luggages around as she adored other people's weapons.

The mute raised an eyebrow though opted not to follow, choosing to meander and mingle around a bit herself

7:46 AM

She decided to go off and see if she could find any recognizable individuals, or otherwise fellow quiet individuals she could click with

Shinigami/Azuli Lapipielle

She decided to go off and see if she could find any recognizable individuals, or otherwise fellow quiet individuals she could click with

Monkey suddenly wake up and have very serious expressions "I need to pee" He stands up and look around for bathroom Can't see any so probably better ask someone He looks the person Infront of him. So he approach "Hello, excuse me, do you know where the bathroom is?"

"

" She made sure to look very innocent while responding. And doing her damndest to not drop a Cheshire grin.

Shinigami/Azuli Lapipielle

" She made sure to look very innocent while responding. And doing her damndest to not drop a Cheshire grin.

Oh shit, Girl throwing gang signs, didn't know she chill like that "Thanks fo info homie

" He goes where she pointed (edited)

" It seems the Monkey was in fact, kind of a vibe (edited)

The Ship TV finally came on.

7:55 AM

"-...due to the recent dust robberies, led by famous criminal Roman Torchwick, have caused a surge in dust prices throughout the kingdom, the unusual amount of activity from the underground elements of the-" The news anchor kept yapping on as a Picture of Roman Torchwick came up.

Oh that man was a bitch.

That man dressed very sexy

There was a complaining groan from the smith watching the news. She needed that!

The News cut off as the Holographic image of a Blonde woman came on.

8:00 AM

"Hello, and welcome to Beacon airspace, my Name is Glynda Goodwitch, and welcome to Beacon. Upon landing, you are all expected to make your way to the Auditorium for further instructions."

"E cup" the monkey said suddenly after going out of the bathroom

On the mention of the cups, the smith no longer feels doomed from remembering that she has detention, and proceeds to look at the professor's chest.

She was surrounded by Monkeys, both figuratively and literally. How Doomed. Surely she wouldn't get stuck with the 2 idiots right?

Monkey senses someone have same appreciation as him. He glance to the side and look at a girl who stare at the hologram intensely He gives her a nod

... On second thought, she didn't like her odds.

The hologram cut out as they broke the cloud cover. Giving them an unobstructed view of beacon academy.

8:04 AM

The woman's sense of culture piques and she turns to the monkey, nodding in return.

"tch"

Then she was back to the gremlin, moving to plaster her face over the window.

Hmm there's a lot of trees. Monkey like

Foremost Soak Hater pinned a message to this channel. 2024-09-29 8:09 AM

"I hope they have fireworks here" monkey said to noone

The ships landed and the bays opened to let the hopefuls out in a mass of bodies.

Monkey goes out not wanting to be inside the ship that oddly smells like vomit anymore

The smith walks after him, taking in the beautiful- albeit surprisingly colorless scenery.

A Blonde ran out of one of the ships and vomited in the bushes.

2

Azuli strolled out as well, following the crowd along. She was doing an excellent job at repressing the urge to stab everybody who got a little to close. Which was a few dozen people at this point.

The woman notices and laughs at him before resuming her stroll.

"Woah... imagine all the stalls i could put here" the monkey realises that there's a lot of empty space on the entrance of beacon

Luckily the crowd cleared up quickly. With that Azuli tactically avoided the motion sickness weirdo, and decided to just keep heading up with the band of weirdos.

The Auditorium was not that far, though they did hear an explosion from the ship docks they just came from.

Shinigami/Azuli Lapipielle

The smith promptly ignores whatever that explosion was. Someone probably mishandled Dust lmao.

Azuli took a moment to admire the strict professional atmosphere of one of the world's premiere huntsman schools. It was so amazing. "

"

They quickly filed into the Auditorium.

Girl so excited that she throwing gang signs left and right

8:20 AM

People Slowly settled as Ozpin came on Stage.

8:21 AM

-# "OH NO ITS HAPPENING AGAIN!" A shout came from the outer edges of the crowd.

A dog faunus among the crowd tilted his head towards the voice

8:21 AM

His fluffy ears quirked (edited)

As did a human smith.

The man on the stage coughed into the microphone.

"I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge--to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose – direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

'Knowledge can only carry you so far...' Good thing Monkey doesn't have any

He stepped back as if the speech was in any way impressive, downing a large mug of coffee and leaving for the backstage as Glynda Goodwitch took to the stage in his place.

Crimson's ears twitch and turn towards the stage, listening intently

1:52 PM

The Airship fleet, ready to take Hunstmen hopefuls to Beacon for initiation were going through their Pre Flight checks. One of the ships had already taken off.

A regal looking girl is standing at the port next to a trolly filled with colour coordinated luggage

1:58 PM

The airship staff helped load the luggage while the late people started filing into the Airship.

Iris sits aboard the ship watching the staff load the luggage aboard, glad at least she doesn't have to do that sort of work for hopefully some time. Especially as she watches someone throw up before the airship even takes off

Violet tracks them with her eyes for a few seconds to ensure they are handling her luggage safely before striding confidently into the airship and claiming a seat, ignoring the vomit (edited)

Violet supressed a sigh at the Torchwick news, that's probably going to lead to more paperwork....she needs some tea

Silver inwardly scoffs at the Torchwick news He could've taken him...

2:29 PM

Silver quickly decided he needed to do something better with his time, and searched around for someone to ~~bother~~ talk to

[2;33m[1;33mOLIFANT [0m[2;33m[0m- You overhear the news over your vomiting, somehow.

By the time they left the ship a blonde guy was puking his guts out into a bush.

Did they have to have such a boring looking colour theme?

It'd remind him of home if not for all the color.

Violet/Garter

Did they have to have such a boring looking colour theme?

It was the castle belonging to the first King of Vale, made out of aura infused Marble to be pleasing to the eye and durable. She knew this because of her history lessons.

2:52 PM

From what she remembered of the floor plan, the auditorium should be just straight ahead.

"Oh hey cool, a locker." Silver eyes his large hoverboard "...Surely it's properly sized."

It is large enough yes.

Violet makes her way to the locker and pulls out her luggage to pull out Gilded Ambition, her beloved axe. Tomorrow we prove we belong here she mutters to herself before putting away her axe and looking for a place to get changed into her nightgown

There are female and male dressing rooms connected to the locker rooms.

Silver follows suit, putting his beloved hoverboard away. He, unfortunately, isn't changing into a nightgown.

Iris places her newly obtained rapier in her own locker, looking to her side across the room to mentally note a white haired girl standing in front of a locker with a very similar weapon

The Vomit boy goes flying, hoodie Pierced by a blood red spear.

"Huh, looks like his day is going pretty well."

3:16 PM

Silver, changed into pajamas that are exactly the same as his standard outfit, looks around for someone to ~~fuck with~~ talk to

A Redhead walks speedily after the spear. Talking to the Blonde and a Teal haired girl.

Violet also sees that white haired girl before her eyes widen in surprise * 'Surely fate dosn't hate me this much' *she thinks to herself

Weiss Schnee glares at Jaune Arc as a glyph starts spinning behind her before sighing and turning around.

I wonder if I can see her enter her password from here (edited)

Sadly she's already done with it.

Next time

Silver suddenly remembers he's not actually a conversationalist savant and should probably not bother people when they're as anxious as they'll be today.

He's just a bitch scared of social confrontation. (edited)

Holy shit, that speech was boring. Badly written, badly orated, you're not even sure how you could put this to words beyond the simple fact that it lacks in quality. You should examine the recordings and find a way to improve it, not that it would require much effort. But that's exactly the problem, isn't it?

Violet takes a deep breath before plastering a polite smile on her face and walking up to Weiss Schnee "Good evening miss Schnee i did not expect you to be at Beacon" (edited)

Weiss blinks.

3:24 PM

"Ah, Miss Glade, I've heard about you. How delightful to have a business partner of ours in the same school as me."

3:24 PM

She gives Violet a polite smile.

3:25 PM

"I hope our next four years together do well in strengthening our bonds, we are stronger together after all."

Silver got bored after attempting to sit still and started looking for Vomit Boy to talk to, as surely he'll at least be funny, right?

Those two are the rich ones

Silver got bored after attempting to sit still and started looking for Vomit Boy to talk to, as surely he'll at least be funny, right?

He seemed to be avoiding the Redhaired Girl who had launched the Spear, meanwhile he noticed, she was chasing him down.

"I hope our next four years together do well in strengthening our bonds, we are stronger together after all."

"I must agree, I wish you the best of luck for initiation tomorrow. I look forward to seeing how everyone proves their worth"

Silver waved him into a hard-to-see hallway in an attempt to save him from... a busty redhead? Man this guy is weird.

He ran for it, jumping into cover moments before the redhead turned around and stared at silver.

3:28 PM

He rapidly mimed cutting his throat.

3:29 PM

-# "Please tell me she is not looking."

"She has no idea" He lied as easily as he breathed.

He sighed.

Silver mimed a 'shush' at the redhead. This seemed comedic

"Thanks buddy, you saved my life. I dont know what i did to piss her off... but she's been hunting me since the Auditorium!"

3:30 PM

He sighed and collapsed to the ground. The redhead meanwhile, slowly creeped closer.

"Damn, man. Did you puke on her dress or somethin?" susge

He paled. "Maybe? I hope not?? I was very dizzy, i remember bumping into a blonde but not a redhead..."

"Clearly the only option is to forfeit your body in forgiveness. I'm sorry man, this is the only way

"

He choked out a laugh. "God no, Jeanne would murder me..."

"Oh? You already have a partner or somethin?"

"Oh no- Its my oldest sister. She is kind of overprotective you know? Told me if i had a girlfriend before i was 20 that she would skin me alive." He gave a nervous laugh. "Im scared she isnt joking..."

3:37 PM

"Well, we'll talk about that later. What matters is that what she doesn't know won't hurt her ThereIsOnlyAllah

"

He shrughs, slowly getting off the floor with a groan.

3:38 PM

"Anyway thanks for covering m-" A Red gauntlet lands on his shoulder as Jaune gives the Atlesian the most hartbreaking look a human being can muster.

3:38 PM

"Go get'em, tiger?"

He sobs.

I have done a good deed today

Meanwhile the Redhead is panicking about why he is crying.

3:39 PM

It appears my work is not done, I must somehow clue her in that he's an idiot

They're already gone into the mess of bodies, the Redhead constantly apologizing and asking what she did wrong. Meanwhile the Blonde is hearing nothing but the pounding blood in his ears and looking for a way out.

...They're gonna be great together

3:42 PM

3:43 PM

..now, I just need to get my own self a partner and I'll be in the clear. Silver shudders just imagining his mother's reaction

Wasn't some Belladonna girl supposed to be here? Seems she already left the room

An hour or so after the Speech, the hopeful initiates, having dropped off their equipment in their assigned storage lockers, made their way to the Main Hall with sleeping bags at hand.

Crimson gets to work setting up a tent

is there a pillar for monkey to rest in?

Though hes a bit confused on where to put in the spikes

The smith was already writing and drawing notes on her notebook detailing all the weapons she saw and possible ideas to implement in, huddled in a sleeping bag in a corner. (edited)

Azuli promptly found a relatively secluded place, though decided to stick relatively near the group she'd aquatinted herself with. They seemed the least likely to do any sketchy shit, brainrotted as they were. (edited)

Cool story bro

Crimson settles in to sleep, trying to ignore the slowly increasing embarrassment he was feeling

9:22 AM

The smith does the same. NOBODY TOLD HER IT WAS RACIST-

Jojo quickly went to sleep. That nap he had made him tired

Azuli went to sleep as well. Noticeably somewhere else. Just a bit of a fair distance from the strange and the perverted.

Morning came quick, several faculty members ringing bells to call in students for breakfast.

How many coconut and bananas are there?

No coconuts but there are bananas.

Good enough

But how much beef were there that wasn't buff women?

Yes.

Azuli took some time to eat, relishing in a nice and hearty egg meal. She was really living her best life (edited)

"So like... y'all want to team up?" "Heard this huntsmen stuff need teammates"

9:31 AM

he asked between banana bites

Crimson had a light breakfast of Eggs, more eggs, and more eggs Oh there was also a sausage and cheese bread

The smith was about to go wild on her food, piling up all the steak she wants, only to freeze when she realized that she's about to do actual Hunting- probably- and would need her belly not as full. It is with great sadness that she slowly returns each slab of steak.

"

"...i have no idea what you mean"

"How does teaming up even work?" Crimson tilts his head, ears flopping to the side (edited)

She scooted away a bit while signing far to rapidly for anybody who wasn't quite familiar with RSL to keep up. Fucking weirdos (edited)

"I dont know much about how you city folk live so that could be nice to know?" Crimson tilts his head again (edited)

Oh so she was just batshit insane. Well, it wasn't to late to cut her losses.

Iris sneers in their direction. In public? In the main hall at that, in view of all the students here? The two couldn't even wait a day until they were assigned private rooms. Though, ideally the exhibitionists would not get far enough to be assigned rooms at all, so it was a moot point. Absolutely disgusting "I hope you are not expecting me to debase myself like that pervert over there," she says derisively about the dog. Though she's also getting bad vibes from the monkey as well (edited)

It had not. There was a sleeping bag there though.

Violet's head jolted over to the noise, wondering what those two could have done for another altercation like this to happen

"It's in the locker," she responds, craning her head to peer over at the new drama

Lotta redhead activity today, really makes you think...

The shouting is quick to stop, the white haired girl retreating to her corner while the Black haired girl blew out her reading light.

[2;34m[1;34mANGELIGA [0m[2;34m[0m- No. The former is Weiss Schnee, of the Schnee Dust Company. The latter child's hair appears to follow the same pattern as a Valentine's Gradient, where the color of one's hair fluctuates in a manner similar to a sine wave. It originated as a mutation from the Solitas continent, although it is now much more prominent in Mistral.

Angeliga is pulling that information out of its ass, weirdly colored hair have been a constant of Remnant since before the great Void where all civilization seem to have ended within a single century as far as historians could tell.

Improbably, Angeliga, a figment of a broken and insane girl's imagination feels the pain of god's slight irritation as it is shocked with divine lightning.

"Uh huh," she responds, watching the girl flash through different colours like a chameleon. Oh god wait- was that it? Was she hiding that chameleon semblance until just now for the lamest pickup line in the world? Was that really why? ... it's too late at night to think about if I should be annoyed by this. "Well, no-semblance girl, hopefully you conveniently unlock it tomorrow then. I suggest getting some rest now if you want to pass initiation." Turning away, she shoots one last derisive glare across the room at a certain dog, before snuffing out her candle

The Headmaster sipped on some coffee as the students filed in to the cliffs.

5:22 PM

Looking out over the emerald forest as the students took their places on the launch pads one by one.

Violet did some checks on Gilded Ambition, checking to make sure the barrel was clear and loaded correctly and that the lightning crystal was properly inserted

[2;33m[1;33mBIRD'S EYE VIEW[0m[2;33m[0m - A tall height, about a few hundred feet above the forest floor.

5:28 PM

The Headmaster's eyes twitched. "Your mission is as follows, land inside the emerald forest, kill any grimm in your path, recover a relic from the ruins at the heart of the forest, and return to Beacon."

Iris double checks Volmyrtenaster's (translator's note: this is japanese for wallmartenaster) chambers. Gravity, hardlight, combustion. Hopefully a stacked enough deck to compensate for her unfamiliarity with the weapon.

 DARK [Challenging: Success] - The wizard thinks himself clever, retrieve a 'relic' from some 'ruins'. Yet i feel the presence of Choice, directly below our feet.

[2;37m[1;37mCUP OF HOT CHOCOLATE[0m[2;37m[0m - Aagh, man. What do y'all even want?

Violet watches this in befuddled confusion....before remembering that by looking at her they are now partners She lets out a scream that she clearly tried to muffle and swings her axe to cut down a tree in rage

Iris is launched next. She considers using the gravity crystal here to soften her landing, gauging her speed against how durable she knows her aura to be, before spotting Silver below her right. Am I going to feel bad about doing this? Nah that guy's from Atlas I'm pretty sure. She angles her fall towards him before bouncing off him as he kills the beowolf

Silver rushes forward with a barrage of hammerblows aimed at the beast's equivalent to an unarmored throat, noting that it wasn't doing a whole lot. Still, he was hesitant to push his weapon farther and expend more dust, preferring to quickly mechashift it into its hoverboard mode and shoot up the nearest tree, in preparation to come crashing down on it when he got the chance.

"YOU MIGHT WANNA MOVE BACK A BIT" Iris calls out to Silver

Silver accelerates farther up the tree, launching himself essentially directly up and out of the range of whatever the weird girl(or one of them, anyways) plans to do

[2;33m[1;33m[1;33mOLIFANT [0m[1;33m[0m[2;33m[0m- You feel the shimmer of heat bubbling up before you. And, as the force of falling down pulls on your hair and coat, beckoning it to fly towards the sky-

The unassuming red orb flies above the Grimm beast, before introducing this world to a new stellar object for the short time that the dust sustains its existence, its own gravitational force taking precedence for the scant few moments it exists

The Bus sized demonic boar is lifted into the air as the Gravitational anomaly swallows and burns it in its internal combustion. Yet it ends all to quickly, dropping the slightly more harmed boar to the ground.

7:27 PM

It snorts and huffs, spinning up for a cataclysmic charge.

Violet aims Gilded ambition directly at the Boar's neck before a deafening crack sounds out and a sharpened flechet breaks the sound barrier several times before piercing the Boar's throat

The thing gets split down the middle. Falling into two heaps before quickly dissolving into ash.

The group Saw a giant nevermore get decapitated in the distance. Following the direction of the grimm led them to a ruined... ruin. A pair of black bishop pieces waiting for them on the ground.

"Aw man, I wanted the castle."

7:43 PM

Violet quickly grabs one of the bishops "Not my favourite piece but effective on the board none the less"

[2;34m[1;34mALIGHIERI [0m[2;34m[0m- Quite fitting, as the current host to the three voices of God.

They rapidly made their way back to beacon to not be late.

A few hours later.

Headmaster Ozpin, at the auditorium began calling out names for the new Years teams and the people who've passed. "Joss Jonquil, Azuli Lapelle, Crimson Gerhart, Ember Persephone, you four have gathered the White Rook pieces, henceforth, you shall be Team Jade[JAGE] led by Joss Jonquil."

The headmaster chuckled while Glynda came around to lead them. "Now now, children, off the stage please, i will be sending your dorm number and access keys to your scrolls."

"It better be down in Vale and not in caf."

The headmaster chuckled while Glynda came around to lead them. "Now now, children, off the stage please, i will be sending your dorm number and access keys to your scrolls."

Crimson, moving on instinct, followed the orders of the witch and went down the stage (edited)

Azuli gave a polite nod to Ozpin and Glynda as she made her way off the stage, all while idly wandering how long it would take for that to become literal

As Monkey walk off. He give someone eye glance. Yep. It's her alright. Just ignore her for now

And at last, Crimson gets his cookie

A few hours later.

Headmaster Ozpin, at the auditorium began calling out names for the new Years teams and the people who've passed. "Iris Marten, Baja Red, Violet Glade and Silver Chariot, the four of you have gathered the Black bishop pieces, and shall henceforth be known as Team MRVS[Marvelous]."

7:52 PM

Applause was immediate.

Iris turns around and congratulates her teammates. "Well, I'm with you guys." She looks them up and down, before congratulating them. "Good work out there," she acknowledges. "I'll do my best to keep you all alive, and I hope you'll do the same."* 'What is he playing at...' she thinks, turning back towards Ozpin (edited)

He sips on his coffee, giving her small smug look.

8:00 PM

The headmaster chuckled while Glynda came around to lead them. "Now now, children, off the stage please, i will be sending your dorm number and access keys to your scrolls."

Violet puts on the voice she uses in business meetings "I look forward to seeing your leadership skills"

The Woman gave them a smile as she shooed them off stage and to their dorms.

"I look forward to hitting things with my hammer ThereIsOnlyAllah

# "WE'RE GONNA BE LATE-"

9:42 AM

A shrill screech came from down the Hall from Team MRVS and JAGE's rooms.

9:43 AM

# "REN THIS IS NO TIME FOR TEA-"

9:44 AM

Ember jolts up from her cocoon of pillows and blanket and fucking books it for the bathroom, she is NOT gonna be late this time.

Iris is already outside doing a quick final check on the state of her shirt collar after slinging her book bag over her shoulder She does not seem to have bothered waking up the rest of her team, who remain inactive

Crimson was already up, humming to ~~her~~himself as the faunus double checked the stuff (edited)

Jojo already in class. He's an early waker "...So like. If you think Faunus are just animals. And you see one in skimpy outfit that made you pop a boner. Is that beastiality or furry to you?" ...and he's currently bothering Cardin

Crimson waves at Ember cheerfully

Ember gives her a short two finger salute in return, clearly not having bothered with closing her blazer

Iris' scroll buzzes.

Weiss refuses to be brought down by association, this is not a compliment.

Crimson freezes, hand inside the cookie tin

His eyes roam over the class for anyone who flinched.

11:42 AM

"A huntsman must always be ready for the unexpected!"

Ember stares in confused silence at the professor.

"Like teen pregnancy?"

Azuli and the bush slowly began to slide down the opposite wall

"Mr Jonquil, i would expect any aspiring young huntsman to keep protection with them at all times." He says with a grave tone.

He coughs.

Well, Azuli was enjoying the byplay.

Finally, the perks of being incredibly mute and sassy were kicking in!

Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?

Iris raises her hand slightly as the other students do before remembering to stop, slamming it back down in a way that was totally natural and definitely nobody would notice

12:40 PM

Oobleck: Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence! (takes another sip of his coffee) I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang!

She nods along approvingly

Jojo raised his hand Tho the subjugation is due to his nature and not his heritage

He goes on about a recent topic, covering the great Faunus Revolution War.

Jojo suddenly focus on writing his notes He do like learning when the Faunus is in the spotlight

"Who here can tell me how the faunus managed the miraculous victory of Fort Castle despite being outnumbered five to one?" (edited)

"Commendable effory on that question, Mr Arc. However it is incorrect. Who here can tell me the true anwser?"

Jojo. Again. Raised his hand

"Yes Mr Jonquil?"

"You see. While the humans hated the Faunus. They don't understand them. They didn't know that these limbs aren't just for show" JoJo moves his tail "So during the war. Faunus uses all the advantages they have and manage to score victory against the ignorant humans" "Like Sun Tzu Kong once said. If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."

He hummed.

Much wow, very vague

"Close enough i suppose, Yes indeed, the commander lost the battle because he allowed his bigotry to cloud his vision and refused to do proper reconnaissance and disregarded the advisors assigned to him, allowing the faunus guerilla force to strike them during night time where their innate night vision granted them quite the advantage."

"Yes Miss Merten?" (edited)

"Sir, I believe the historiography of the author is flawed and comes from a highly Atlesian-influenced account of history due to the exclusion of faunus authors within academia post-war while Atlas academics retained their standing. In particular this version of history, while admitting the biases and oversight of the human leaders, attempts to establish a narrative of the war that emphasizes the animalistic aspects of the faunus. More recent books including faunus authors indicate the ideological biases of the human commanders influenced decision-making even further, where the motivating desire to uphold a social order where the Faunus were lesser prevented Atlas strategists from even believing that w-they could wage war on the same level as humans, much less acknowledge any advantages. In particular, contemporary sources indicate that the commander's advisers, while aware of the Faunus' traits, believed w-they were incapable of even learning to use firearms, until the freedom fighters had them at gunpoint. Furthermore" yap yap yap (edited)

Crimson is starting to realise that she may have missed a lot of stuff A lot more than she expected

Azuli was down to just her bra and panties, though she was sitting in a perfectly sized bush that somehow only revealed her head.

2:11 PM

There was a pile of discarded clothes nearby, alongside a few twigs

Power of PG 13 censorship

Crimson took a moment to look away from the argument- Before flushing furiously and going straight back to focusing on it and they call ME an exhibitionist for letting someone touch my tail?

Attempts to remove the bush had resulted in something biting Cardin. A closer shake of the bush had resulted in a squirrel running out of it. This had happened 3 times in a row now, and he had stopped trying

8:19 AM

"Jaune Arc, Out of Bounds. Try to put in more effort, Mr Arc."

8:19 AM

Combat class was as brutal as always.

Azuli sat watching, face ever the epitome of stoicism. It was kinda of sad funny, watching how hard Jaune would get his shit rolled, followed somewhat usually by his red haired teammate doing the inverse to some poor fool

Cardin Winchester swaggered off the arena to join his team while Jaune made his way back to his own team, Aura still at 100% for both of them.

Violet looked on the concluded fight, wondering what combat school Jaune went to and how on Remnant were they still funded (edited)

Crimson felt much the same, a bit incencensed at who taught Jaune Arc It was obvious they didn't do a good job of it (edited)

"Let this be a lesson that there is more to victory than killing your opponent. As showcased by Mr Winchester choosing to send him out of bounds due to his inability to properly damage Mr Arc."

8:23 AM

Glynda waved the two off.

8:23 AM

"Now, onto the next fight."

She also made a mental note of Cardin. Fucker was oddly touchy around bushes, and she'd need to up her squirrel acquisitions

The Teacher asked for a random pairing from the system. The slots rolled and rolled and rolled.

"Pyrrha Nikos versus..."

The Redhead instantly lit up like a christmas tree at the thought of combat.

"...Violet Glade."

Violet widens her eyes at the fact that she’s fighting the invincible girl before nodding respectfully and going to get ready for combat

Oh hey, that was the one who frequented their dorms to talk with the resident gun fanatic.

Ember looks up from her weapon, raising an eyebrow.

Damn, she really bout to rock your shit.

"Begin."

Silver leaned over to Ember. "You know anything Vi likes to eat? I think grabbing her some dinner'll help with uhh, that."

8:54 AM

"So like.how does selected combat works? Fighting style advantages? Rank of class? Race?"

Violet picks herself up, brushes herself off and starts to walk towards her team with as much dignity as she could muster after that display

clearly combat and class rankings are revealed now

Silver leaned over to Ember. "You know anything Vi likes to eat? I think grabbing her some dinner'll help with uhh, that."

Where am I going to find cookies on Campus...

Violet hasn’t got back to the team yet so she doesn’t hear this food talk

Stealing some from Crimson was always solid. But Azuli wouldn't know about that

I think Ruby would be upset if I robbed her

"welp. Time to hit the shower. You coming Crim?"

Iris is torn between the desire to correct them to stay consistent with her previous experience working at the Vale Grand Hotel and the desire to see what the disaster of a meal will look like

...I think I'm gonna have to bake the cookies myself. Where to find cookie dough...

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"welp. Time to hit the shower. You coming Crim?"

Crimson casually waves a hand in dissent at that "You all go on ahead, I'll just take a quick trip back to the dorm"

Time for some quality 'Partner Inspection'

Violet is walking to the communal showers, pulling pieces of rubble out of her hair and silently despairing at losing to a single hit

"Wait is that it? Class over?"

Weiss was already on her way to the Kitchens with Ruby, dragging along Silver.

Weiss was already on her way to the Kitchens with Ruby, dragging along Silver.

Ember quickly follows.

Weiss took point.

9:27 AM

"So you want to make a meal to cheer up your teammate right?"

"That's the goal, yeah! I doubt losing to Pyrrha in a hit like that was fun."

Ruby was just here for the cookies.

9:28 AM

"Right, Glade Logistics is a company based around Vale so theyre probably Valean, maybe a traditional dish? She might enjoy a taste of home."

"That's... probably accurate. I've only gotten a bit of Valean cuisine recently, I'm accustomed to Atlesian stuff, and the military side of it at that. Any idea what might be good? I intend to make some cookies for dessert anyways since Red's already got her hopes up, but the main dish can be whatever"

Foremost Soak Hater

"So you want to make a meal to cheer up your teammate right?"

"I'm not gonna lie chief I'm just here for the cookies."

Weiss paced a bit.

9:35 AM

"How about a Vale style turkey?"

9:35 AM

Ruby blew a raspberry.

9:36 AM

"What? What's your problem with a turkey?"

9:36 AM

"Weiss, We Valeans dont like fancy dishes, if you're gonna make a turkey, you might as well deep fry it."

9:37 AM

"Huh?"

"A turkey is hardly a dish to impress with in Vale either," Iris sniffs. "The city is just by the sea, I'd suggest seared albacore tuna" (edited)

"Would we be cooking like, a whole turkey? Do we have time to do that?"

9:39 AM

We should at least hear out the concept before we throw it out...

Weiss noda in recognition of facts revealed.

9:41 AM

"Well, a sea based fish could be good. But i dont think Tuna is the answer, we're not feeding a cat after all..."

9:41 AM

Weiss said, unaware that the one who suggested this was currently a cat.

"Weiss, We Valeans dont like fancy dishes, if you're gonna make a turkey, you might as well deep fry it."

Ember nods sagely.

"Fish... Some sea bass, maybe? I'm not super familiar with Vale's native marine life."

"Like I said, if you can find like, rock lobsters if they're a thing, that'd probably be enough."

9:43 AM

"Especially if it's like, gold lobsters."

"I still think our teams can be pretty catty sometimes..."

Weiss gave a wry smile. "Well, we do fight a lot."

"I think they can get pretty caught up in their felines from time to time, yeah."

Ruby called out.

9:46 AM

"Best bud Em has it figured out! We should make her some fried lobster!"

9:46 AM

Weiss visibly twitched in disgust.

9:47 AM

"Is that like, good?"

9:47 AM

"...I don't think I've ever had lobster at all, actually."

9:47 AM

"Stir frying it would go over a bit better," Iris offers diplomatically

Ruby shakes her head.

9:50 AM

"Back in patch, there was this old man who made Fried Lobster, like the fried chicken from Vacuo, it tastes so good!" (edited)

She starts vibrating.

"The lobster meat gets so tender inside while the outside gets crunchier and it holds the spices better!"

"Cool! That means we can blame you if she dies. Let's go get the stuff!"

10:00 AM

It turned out pretty well.

10:43 AM

'This was not according to my calculations' (edited)

Silver gave Weiss a look that practically screamed 'I'm so glad I didn't try and make this on my own'

Violet walks into the kitchen with slightly damp hair looking to make a cup of tea before noticing everyone “Oh hello, apologies if I’m interrupting I just need the kettle”

Weiss elbowed Silver to get him to speak up.

Traitor...

10:57 AM

"You're fine! You showed up just in time, actually!"

10:57 AM

Silver gestures to the GLORIOUS MEAL that they ~~Ruby~~ had prepared

10:58 AM

"We thought you might be feeling a little down after your... bout with Pyrrha, so we wanted to try and cheer you up!"

Ember gave her two thumbs up alongside Ruby. They seem to be chewing on something. (edited)

Iris helped herself to some of that but is mostly eating the tuna she ended up getting for herself anyway in spite of Weiss's comment

Violet widens her eyes in shock "Oh you didn't have to do that for me. I'm fine, losing to Miss Nikos was to be expected" She says hoping none of them saw her face in the shower

11:03 AM

"But thank you for the thought"

Ember didn't bother with a shower since she didn't get called for a fight this time.

Sister ew. Thats like. From 9 to afternoon. Why you no shower

Because she already did before classes.

Violet/Garter

"But thank you for the thought"

"No problem, that's what friends are for!"

11:10 AM

Man this is cheesy to say...

She peaks over their their shoulder, making a concerted effort to keep herself calm "What did you make?"

"Fried Lobster!"

The shortstacks seems to be fairly proud of it even though it was her bestie who suggested it. (She gave the idea)

11:18 AM

"Fried lobster? I don't think any lobster I've eaten before has been fried"

"Now that there just sounds like you're missing out real fucking hard chief."

"It is not exactly the style of lobster that upper class establishments serve" (edited)

"And that's why you're missing out real hard."

11:27 AM

"I've never had lobster before, but I sampled a bit when we finished cooking and it's pretty good!"

Violet/Garter

"It is not exactly the style of lobster that upper class establishments serve" (edited)

Iris twitches again but says nothing 'Vale upper class cuisine,' she thinks in disgust. 'At least the Mistral upper class eats real food... why did I put Vale on this fake ID anyway...' (edited)

Quit being a prissy bitch, even in your own mind...

11:30 AM

*Nagisa ahh thoughts Clueless

Ember would have agreed if she could hear thoughts.

11:31 AM

She right.

"It is actually kinda good, considering," Iris just says instead, motioning at the fried portions (edited)

The shortstack just grabs the plate and shoves it in Silver's hands for him to hand to Violet, shoving him behind to push him forward, "Just give it a shot!" (edited)

Crimson walks in, arms full of ingredients- for blue Berry cheesecake, Nachos and dip, and- of course, cookies It's a lot of stuff She blinks at all the people in the kitchen, tail slowly starting to wag at the smell of something delicious -# "Oh hi"

"Yooooo Crim! Whatcha makin'?"

"Blueberry cheesecake for Azuli, Nachos for guys night, and cookies" The Dog faunus replies as she carefully brings her ingredients onto a countertop (edited)

Iris braces for the category 5 hurricane, hackles raised

Silver holds the plate out sort of awkwardly in Violet's direction. "So uhh, you want?"

"Not even going to grab a bite for a taste?" (edited)

"Great...my hairband is gone." Said Joss as his iconic tied hair now loose to his shoulder After making sure that his face is clean he walks towards his own dorm room. He felt that he's wearing clothes so he didn't really checked what he was wearing. Felt like his sarong and assumed that is his current attire As he walks. Couple of the students (all of it are girls because the boys are either still sleeping or too ashamed to go outside for a while) looks at him weirdly It took him a while before he noticed what's going on.

Joss would later begin to wake up to find himself with only the female Beacon Dress Uniform, his pants having been confiscated in favor of skirts.

Crimson found herself in much the same situation, with a good chunk of both the entire teams clothing vanishing and reappearing sporadically in favor of random assorted mostly feminine clothing

10:43 PM

Nobody could be quite sure why, sundresses, wedding dresses, bear onesies, and other such articles or clothing, were appearing, how they were being afforded/swapped out, or who quite was doing it, but it proved to be quite impossible to track.

Attempts by other teams to help usually resulted in their attire temporarily vanishing as well.

A week had passed since they managed to get into Beacon. Settling into the chaotic life that was living in a huntsman school.

7:06 AM

Glynda Goodwitch stood before the first year class.

7:07 AM

"Now, students, i would like to inform you about our upcoming field trip to Forever Fall. You will be expected to be on your best behavior and keep goofing off to a minimum in the grimm infested territory."

-# "wouldn't a goofy attitude helps deter the Grimm more?" A Voice said from the back

From somewhere within the crowd of students, a raspberry was blown, causing Glynda to glare at the students.

7:09 AM

Today seemed like a good day to not get ragdolled around by the twitchy riding crop lady. (edited)

"No. The forever fall's unique Trees have a sap that attracts Ursa. No matter how happy we are in the field, there will be Grimm there. Of course you're expected to call for a Professor if you spot one."

7:11 AM

She swatted her riding crop to the side as another raspberry was blown. A hyperactive ginger's head getting snapped to the front with a very loud. "owie!"

Violet gave a side eye at the voice in the back

stop being racist

7:19 AM

Azuli decided to not keep flipping through hand signs after a moments consideration. Damn telekinetic teachers with annoyingly good spatial awareness

The weapon nut is simply more concerned on whether or not she can find something useful in the forest.

Oooo what if there was some sort of ancient special metal in there that's racist to Grimm...

PRIMORDIAL UNCONSCIOUSNESS [RONALD REAGAN - 30% UNLEASHED] - Somewhere far away, you feel the urge to discriminate and systematically break down the social order of a vulnerable minority group for tax benefits

Violet is happy that someone else is writing notes

Partway through this whole thing, Azuli was struck with the terrifying remembrance that the Monkey was her glorious leader.

7:31 AM

7:32 AM

This is surely fine.

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"Grimm have preferences?" Jojo ask Crimson since hes the one who met them the most "I thought they were mindless beast"

"Sometimes they do, it's more of a habitat thing if I remember right." Crimson replies idly as he puts down his notebook "They don't really attack animals for sustenance either" (edited)

Joss nods and writes something on his notebook grimms are fucking weird

Shinigami/Azuli Lapipielle

This is surely fine.

After a bit of deep contemplation, Azuli decided that she could probably trust the Monkey... She paused as she saw his notes. Totally trustworthy, though on a completely unrelated note, it was probably best for her "Enthusiastic" Partner to stand in front of her. Just in case. (edited)

Glynda snaps her crop to gather attention. "Combat classes today are dismissed so you can be fully rested for tomorrow." She points to the holographic screen behind her as the agenda for tomorrow appears.

"Awww..."

"You're expected, fully geared, at the Airship Docks by 10 AM."

Jojo nods and wrote down the agenda on his book

all iris will remember is

9:27 AM

# =================

10:18 AM

A day had passed and the comatose students were in the infirmary, getting watched over by the School nurse, Professor Aide.

"Sorry for being a terrible leader guys."

10:20 AM

Monkey said to his team

Depression is a common side effect of getting hit by an Apathy's ability.

"Oh, you're up." Aide looks at the clipboard of one of the patients, looking at their vital signs making sure it was in the normal ranges.

Monkey too sad to gawk

Crimson stared at the ceiling, nose twitching as he opened his eyes "It's fine" Crimson says without any cheer or inflection in his voice

The snoring stops as Ember stirs, tiredly getting up.

10:26 AM

"What the fuck... Happened-"

Crimson doesn't say anything, staring up at the ceiling

She squints as she sluggishly looked around herself.

"Ugh... Did we pass out from some sort of sleeping pollen or what?"

"Grimm"

"....Why did i bother coming here?"

"Thanks for coming anyway" Crimson says automatically

Wait... She's seen this before... Records of people falling enervated from proximity to just a specific type of Grimm, followed by its howls... That was- She reads the white board. "Apathy."

"Explain"

10:32 AM

"because right now im feeling like i want to jump off a cliff and not do awesome landings"

She growled. Though she felt ultimately sluggish and admittedly back to her old depressed state, she was far too pissed off that a Grimm caused this.

Crimson closes his eyes again, feeling tired

... Fuck her marker ran out

"Fucking-" She weakly stood up, fueled solely by spite and denial, "I refuse to be brought down by Grimm like that."

Needs To Be Studied

Crimson closes his eyes again, feeling tired

Oh wait Azuli is here Crimson opens his eyes again, expression blank (edited)

Jojo tries to get up. Hes the leader and he shouldn't be laying down

"Fucking hell. Is this the average grimm in the wild?"

"Those things enervate people by forcing people to by forcing depression and tiredness into their victims." (edited)

10:34 AM

"They shouldn't even be here."

The professor excuses herself to her desk silently, letting these MINORS (dni) have their chit chat.

"As their name implies, they're going to break your morale until you kill yourself by the lack of giving a shit about everything."

Ember

"They shouldn't even be here."

The doors to the infirmary opened. "Exactly right, Miss Ember."

10:35 AM

She turns to the- She blinks.

10:35 AM

"Professor Ozpin." She greets with surprise. (edited)

Jojo looks up from his sitting position "Professor ozpin?"

Azuli took a moment to go find another marker- and oh god damnit, it was pink and sparkly (edited)

"Apathy are not grimm native to Sanus. So it was quite a shock to have them so close to beacon. Truly, if your teams hadnt found them, we might have been in a dire situation."

"Hello Headmaster, how is your coffee today" Crimson asks, tone apathetic

Violet turns her head while lying in bed "Oh hello Professor OZpin"

Foremost Soak Hater

"Apathy are not grimm native to Sanus. So it was quite a shock to have them so close to beacon. Truly, if your teams hadnt found them, we might have been in a dire situation."

"Yeah but...we didn't- I didn't do anything to stop it..."

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"Yeah but...we didn't- I didn't do anything to stop it..."

"Not like we could have, most of us were out before we could we react" She says dejectedly

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"Yeah but...we didn't- I didn't do anything to stop it..."

Ozpin shakes his head. "The fact that you all lived is enough for us. Apathy are grimm that even seasoned, adult Huntsmen struggle with. We wouldnt expect students to ever fight them."

"We can't win against them, not yet."

"Who killed them?..."

"They're very stinky, like a rotting village" Crimson's nose twitches

"Did someone bring them here?..." asks a not entirely awake Iris

Ember

"We can't win against them, not yet."

This motherfucker was cooked

"Their method of killing is too effective against people because nobody has the mental fortitude to usually survive those without actually training for it."

10:39 AM

She growled, "I have a bone to pick with those assholes at some point."

Spicy

Crimson starts signing to Azuli Hello, how are you?

"We're investigating how they may have arrived in Forever fall, but grimm migrating is no new thing. Though you may thank your friend, Miss Baja for eliminating the threat. It seems her mental resilience was enough to fight back while Miss Azuli called for backup."

Shinigami/Azuli Lapipielle

That's great This sucks

(Hard to beat a schizo :V)

Jojo looks at Azuli "Thanks. For doing the right thing"

"Seriously? She beat them?"

There was grumbling from the shortstack before nodding to the professor, "I will, thank you professor."

Violet/Garter

"Seriously? She beat them?"

"Apathy arent particularly strong in a fight, their danger comes from their ability to drain a persons willpower to live."

Thanks partner

Foremost Soak Hater

"Apathy arent particularly strong in a fight, their danger comes from their ability to drain a persons willpower to live."

"Which...i assume will attract more grimms?" Fucking apathy

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

Jojo looks at Azuli "Thanks. For doing the right thing"

"Well I certainly feel as if i have lost all motivation to do anything as of now"

"More or less." She answered her partner.

"They are usually extremely stealthy, preferring to stalk their prey for days if necessary until they collapse, so the fact that you spotted them is a Major Accomplishment, be proud."

"Though usually it's only just more of them."

Shinigami/Azuli Lapipielle

This is like seeing my mom and dad again

Violet/Garter

"Well I certainly feel as if i have lost all motivation to do anything as of now"

"You will probably recover by the end of the day, mild depression is a standard side effect of getting drained by the Apathy, your Aura should help get you to tip top shape rapidly."

Foremost Soak Hater

"They are usually extremely stealthy, preferring to stalk their prey for days if necessary until they collapse, so the fact that you spotted them is a Major Accomplishment, be proud."

Crimson let's out a bland woo "Stinky corpse grimm" (edited)

Jojo sighed

Needs To Be Studied

This is like seeing my mom and dad again

I don't like seeing my mom and dad again

She points at Ozpin, "I absolutely refuse to stay depressed because of this, and I will now be heading out to have fun doing..." The pointing falters as she figures out what to do, looking around the room. "Uhh..." She points to Violet, "Her!"

10:45 AM

"Her weapon specifically I mean!"

"I do not even have the energy to correct any crass meanings but I'll gladly accept your help for Gilded Ambition"

"That's what she said"

She turns to Violet, loaded with apathy and bluntness, "Ima be real with you chief, if I wanted to fuck you I'd take you out for a date first, I have class."

Ember

"You, I thank you for the help, but I will also need to find out how you resisted those Apathy."

Is this how girls talk? Blatan crass? Jojo looks at his fellow male for confirmation

Crimson closes his eyes as he signs to Azuli Sorry, tired

Violet/Garter

"I'm glad someone around here does"

"Uhuh." she says as she walks up to the heiress, and grabs her hand, tugging at her, "Now hurry up, I refuse to stay sad and that gleaming weapon of yours is just the right pick me up I need."

Well, no way to respond to that!

"Don't make me carry you."

"No worries I'm coming, I would like to gain something productive out of today" Violet emerges from her bed and joins her (edited)

The small woman goes behind her and pushes her out the door, "Gogogogogo, get that blood flowing and pumping princess, the hotter the blood boiling the weaker apathy gets."

[2;33m[1;33mBERNESQUE [0m[2;33m[0m- Nothing is left of the strongest sorcerer of today.

Order - Hm, i might have to delete this host and find another one.

Crimson would ask what Pixelate is but he's too tired to ask Or to sleep Or to do anything

Before the two was fully out, the weaponsmith realizes something, and then snaps to the dog.

10:54 AM

"No."

10:54 AM

"Nuh uh, we ain't having this."

10:55 AM

She moves towards the dog, "Get up cinnamon roll." She commands, grabbing his arm.

10:55 AM

"Y'ain't going to be all down on me after you just spent the week being a ray of sunshine, I ain't letting that shit fly."

Crimson would ask what Pixelate is but he's too tired to ask Or to sleep Or to do anything

[2;33m[1;33mCOMMEDIA [0m[2;33m[0m- You hug him.

Ember

Before the two was fully out, the weaponsmith realizes something, and then snaps to the dog.

"Do you mind if I get some tea before we go to the lockers?"

Ember waves the princess away, "Yeah go go go, get your shit together and meet me there in a bit."

"What's a cinnamon roll...?" Crimson mutters as he sinks into Bajas hug a bit This is nice

"Don't question it, now come on, we're going to get you cookies."

Ember

Ember waves the princess away, "Yeah go go go, get your shit together and meet me there in a bit."

Violet hurries over to the cafeteria to fill an entire thermos with tea

She turns to the monke, "Oy, you too monkey, we're gonna gonna do drugs or something similar. Like cake."

Ember

"Don't question it, now come on, we're going to get you cookies."

"That'd be nice, I'm just" "Tired, is all"

Ember

She turns to the monke, "Oy, you too monkey, we're gonna gonna do drugs or something similar. Like cake."

Jojo wave off the racism "I'll join later."

The dog gets flicked at the nose.

Crimson's nose twitches at that, a faint spike of annoyance

"There, not so tired now are we?"

11:00 AM

"Now get your ass up."

11:00 AM

"Don't let the Apathy win."

The dog faunus looks at her for a moment Then down to @.I demand you to call me barbara , who's still hugging him

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

Jojo wave off the racism "I'll join later."

Jojo then steps off the infirmary to chase down professor ozpin

[2;35m[1;35mOLIVIER DE GENNES[0m[2;35m[0m - In this moment, you are the strongest girl in the world. 

[2;34m[1;34mINNAMORATO [0m[2;34m[0m- Until he is happy.

[2;35m[1;35mFERRAGUT [0m[2;35m[0m- HE WILL BE BY YOUR SIDE

"This is nice though"

The woman stares at the other gal hugging her teammate, "Yeah actually nah, that should fix you."

11:05 AM

She turns to take her leave, "I'm gonna go do drugs." She says before leaving, admittedly a smidge jealous that a cute girl was hugging him until he gets better.

Ember

She turns to the monke, "Oy, you too monkey, we're gonna gonna do drugs or something similar. Like cake."

"You can't just say that..." Iris mumbles sleepily

11:06 AM

Ember out here w the casual slur use...

Crimson snuggles into Baja more "Thank you" He whispers to her

She already sees the monkey as her homie.

Unfortunately she was not aware of the severity.

Crimson closes his eyes and enjoys the warmth and affection He missed this

[ Ozpin sighed.] [ "Trust in my ability would you? Mr Jonquil. I've been a Teacher, a Leader, for longer than most have been alive. I know for a fact that Ms Belladonna has abandoned her old ways with the White Fang."]

Jojo looks down and clenched his fist

[Ozpin puts a hand on his shoulder. "I know how hard it is to let go of past Grudges and Trauma, Mr Jonquill. But in our life, holding onto such doubts get us and the people we try to protect killed. Trust in the capability of Beacon Academy and the Professors who teach you."]

[Jojo sighed] ["Alright.... alright. I'll trust you and the teachers on this"] ["But i will not interact with her as long as im alive tho... that's out of the table"]

11:22 AM

[ "As long as it doesnt hurt your team. Then it is none of my business who you choose to be friends with, Mr Jonquill. Though, Ghira Belladonna called recently, he was asking if you made it."]

["Ah..."Jojo scratches his cheeks*] ["I haven't talked to him in 5 years... I'm glad he still remembers me...can i...can i ask for his numbers? I kinda never asked before i left Kuo Kuana"]

[He smiled. "I will send it to your scroll, though you might need to go the CTT to get a signal there."]

["Thank you for talking with me professor. It means alot. I don't want to take more of your time so I'll take my leave"]

Jojo excuses himself and walks towards his dorm 'She left the fangs?...ho boy. If Adam still the same. He will be furious '

'Adam...' Jojo thinks back on his weapon 'I need to prepare for him'

In one of the training Crimson's body burned from Exertion as he laid down Grimseeker for the moment, taking deep breaths as he rested. Apathy The dog faunus ears twitched at the thought, pulling back as hot anger curled his lips into a snarl Crimson decided that the damn things are gonna be near the top of his priority list He hated feeling that empty, hated how he just... ...Gave up, stopped caring He closed his eyes, and tried to find serenity

5:44 AM

Slowly, did the rage in chest abate Slowly, did the light of his soul calmed Slowly, did he let out the breath he was holding within

Crimson turns towards her with a blink, idly wiping away his sweat with a towel as he gives her a cheerful smile "Think so yeah, haven't seen anyone else here in a bit"

His leader said he was looking for the CCT tower

[2;35m[1;35mFURIOSO [0m[2;35m[0m- Grapple him, take his arm-

 [2;35m[1;35mFURIOSO [0m[2;35m[0m- Feint, jump forward, *tackle!*

Crimson picks himself up from the sudden attack, stretching his shoulder a bit as he sets Grimseeker into an offensive Stance "Geeze Baja, if you wanted to fight you could have just told me" Crimson teases with a grin, a bit confused by the sudden violence but still reveling in it

And without anymore warning charges in to stab at Baja

and then the fight end yaay

9:10 AM

9:11 AM

Jojo slowly and surely walks to the CCT tower. He walks up to what seems to be an elevator (edited)

9:13 AM

He never been to one of this place before so he have no idea what to do

### "Level Two Access Granted: Beacon Student."

9:13 AM

The door to the tower opened on its own.

Oh wow. So futuristic.

9:14 AM

Jojo walks in and looks around

It was made by Atlas.

9:15 AM

It shows that with the militaristic structure on the inside and the Grey/White color scheme. There are many people from Vale and students from beacon using the terminals at the tower to speak to family.

Jojo looks for an empty terminal and sat "Hoo boi. I can do this" He boot things up and prepare to call "I can do this. I can do this" He press and waits

It picks up after a few rings.

Jojo tensed and look at the holoscreen

"Hello?" A tired voice he recognized called out a moment before the call connected.

9:24 AM

"My husband isnt home rig- Oh Jojo!" She suddenly brightened up.

9:25 AM

"It's been so long! Why do you never call, huh? Do you have an excuse for yourself young man?"

'why herr?!' "Heyyy Kali...long time no see" Jojo give wry chuckle and fixes his shirt neck

9:26 AM

"How are you and Ghira been doing? Hehe"

"Oh dear dont worry, we're doing fine. What we'll be talking about is you. Young man have you been eating well? You look gaunt. Do you not like the food at school? Do you want me to cook some homemade food and ship it over there? Oh Brothers, i should probably just pack up and come to vale..."

9:29 AM

She was rambling.

She haven't changed much huh? "It's fine. I'm fine Kali. Just. Sorry for not calling all this time. I didn't realize I don't have your or Ghiras number after the uh.." Base explosion "Sudden departure"

9:31 AM

"So i don't have a way to communicate back"

9:32 AM

"professor ozpin gave me your numbers. That's why i can call you guys now"

She shook her head. "As long as you're safe and sound. Thats all we could want. Now if only Blake would call as well... oh that stupid daughter of mine. I knew i should have pulled on her ears when i saw that Taurus boy with her..."

"Ahaha" Jojo looks to the side not making eye contact "Yeah. Blake. I wonder where she is right now"

Her eyes narrow.

9:34 AM

"How curious. Would you like to hear a funny story? Jojo?"

Jojo bit his lips and still not make eye contact

9:35 AM

"Mhm"

"There is this student at beacon see, she signed up Under the name... Blake Belladonna, now Professor Ozpin found fit to inform us that someone was using our family name to get into beacon. Imagine our surprise when it turned out to be a Black Haired Cat Faunus that happens to be in your class..."

9:36 AM

She was smiling quite dangerously now.

9:36 AM

"We'll come to Vale during the Vytal Festival."

9:37 AM

Her smile became sharper.

9:37 AM

"You two better make up by then or so help me even the brothers wont save you two."

"I- but. I kinda been i dunno" "Avoiding her?" "And i think she's doing the same...or maybe she forgot about me? Can we please not do this Kali!"

"I will not have my children squabble like grade schoolers despite being in a school like Beacon. If not for yourself, at least do it for us. Get her to call home at least once..."

9:41 AM

She sighed.

9:42 AM

"Anyway. You will be sending me your bank account details through your scroll at the first opportunity. You havent taken your allowance in five years and your piggy bank is about to burst."

9:42 AM

She gave him a coy smile.

-# "ooh liens" Cough "You don't have to do that! I'm fine in my own right now. Although i think Blake need it more if she left the fang"

Kali sighs. "Stop being stubborn. She also has her own piggy bank."

".... Alright" It's hard to argue with her "I'll send my information after this...and try to talk to Blake"

Her lips pursed. "Tell her to be careful. That Taurus boy is not taking her leaving well. Please stick together..."

"Okay... How's the fangs over there by the way? There's has been constant attacks in Vale i fear that Sienna is planning something"

"Huh? Why would the Fang attack Vale? After Vacuo, Vale is the best for faunus rights... I'll try to talk to Sienna about this."

"Just... be careful. And bring Ghira. Vale is a bit tense with the white fang right now"

"We'll stick together. Just like you and Blake will."

9:49 AM

Kali smiled. "Stronger together. We can talk more after Ghira comes back. We love you!"

"I love you too...mom. i call again soon. Hopefully with Blake too" (edited)

9:57 AM

The call ended and Jojo leans back on his chair sighing

"Iris" walks aimlessly down the hallways of Beacon, lost in though. 'Ozpin knows. Ozpin almost certainly knows I know. But he still let me in… why would he do that? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? No, he can’t be that stupid, there’s no way to control information flow to the degree necessary for that strategy in a school, and even if he can monitor my scroll and the CCT, if he knows I know then he knows I could still report in with pen and paper- slower, but not slow enough. More likely, he believes I won’t act against the school in any way. It’s certainly true given what my assignment is, but there’s no guarantee of that in the future… unless he’s confident that I would not support the White Fang’s course of action in that scenario.'

10:05 AM

The gears turn faster in “Iris’s” head. 'But what would make him so confident? It would have to be something so heinous I’d have to pull a Belladonna, or something high command would disapprove of. Number two is a more actionable prediction, but if he knew this he could have already informed his own contacts in Kuo Kana. If it’s just a guess…'

10:05 AM

"Iris" frowns. 'There must have been a reason I’ve been stonewalled every time I tried to figure out what the objective of our current operations are. Even most of the actual Vale membership haven’t yet been told who the humans we’ve started working with are. He must know this at least, and if that’s the case…'

10:06 AM

She rubs her eyelids with a hand, absolutely hating what she was concluding. 'Then if that’s the case, he’s expecting me to effectively be his triple agent, because now I absolutely have to look into this myself. There’s no question about that latter part at least, but as for what to do now…'

10:06 AM

'What now, do I drop the charade and ask him outright, finding out what he knows in exchange for putting him in the loop too, at risk of my guess being entirely wrong and putting myself in a worse position?' (edited)

10:06 AM

'I fucking hate Adam.'

10:07 AM

"You seem to be troubled by something. Miss Merten. Could i trouble you by lending you an ear?"

She turns around, deciding to hedge it. If he keeps playing dumb, then no need to say anything more "You know that's not my original name, don't you?"

"And Neither is Ozpin mine. What matters is the name we respond to, for that is the only power they hold over us." (edited)

10:13 AM

"I suppose that's true," she shrugs. 'Not relevant now, but that's an interesting tidbit if that's true. Well, I have no obligation to say first, so we can keep talking.'

10:15 AM

"And what power would that be, in particular? If you don't mind me asking, that is."

"Some people seem to think that their names, the way it is spoken by people, wether in reverence or in hate. Get to decide who they are. Now personally i find that a propestrous concept."

10:17 AM

He stepped in next to her to continue the walk. Leading them into the gardens.

She follows along, panning her eyes for a moment to see if anyone else is on a walk at the same moment

Its fully deserted.

10:19 AM

"Truly i understand why you wouldnt be able to use your real name. Your Wayward cousin has put quite the bounty on it after all."

10:19 AM

She pauses, taken off guard- that's new, actually. "They WHAT? Oh that spiteful piece of sh-" She regains her composure. Well, Ozpin might not be telling the truth in the first place, leaving Beacon as the only real safe place in Vale for her would be a little too convenient for him. Just something else to look into. "Apologies for the profanity, headmaster." (edited)

"Oh dont mind these old ears, ive heard way worse in my time."

10:27 AM

He chuckled.

Qrow and Raven

"And you've weighed the... risks of accepting me then?" she asks, anticipating how he will choose to answer.

He smiles quite mysteriously. "There was never any danger."

10:30 AM

'Well, no need to dance around it anymore, we know this much now at least. And he probably already knows what I've concluded...' She stops and turns to face him. "What exactly has the Vale White Fang has been doing ever since Belladonna deserted?" (edited)

"I know that sienna has no hand in the operations currently taking place in vale and that she's being stopped from interfering by some quite dangerous people."

10:34 AM

10:36 AM

"They're focusing on Dust Robberies, Faunus or not, SDC or not, it doesnt seem to matter. Quite uncharacteristically on top of that, They're working with the Famous Criminal Roman Torchwick."

'Wellllll, can't build a self defense movement without the dust to back it up and nobody is shedding tears over the SDC. The fact they've gone after regular businesses he should know I would disapprove of, but not enough to do what he wants. Torchwick...' "You know that just buying from a black market arms dealer isn't something I would find particularly distasteful, given how little the notion of an armed Faunus Rights movement is tolerated in the Four Kingdoms, so there's more to it than that. I take it the human criminal is pulling the strings in some manner? Adam does not seem like the most difficult branch leader to manipulate, given his blind hatred and complete lack of anything resembling principled doctrine or revolutionary ideology." She didn't have to add the last bit, but felt the need to get the dig in at the local leader who has ignored every rant she's gone on in her reports. ''Lumpenproletariat" isn't a made up word you idiot, it's from Atlas. You would know this if you talked to the other branches' (edited)

10:47 AM

"Sienna and i had an... understanding. White fang would not target innocent civillians and i wouldnt bring down their freedom movement under an unending torrent of Huntsmen. The Vale branch is out of control and that reflects badly to the rest of the Fang." Ozpin sighs. "Despite what you might think, i find the ideal of fighting for your freedom a worthy cause. However i cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of innocent civillians and noncombatants."

"I suspect the two of you have somewhat different definitions of who is innocent, so you might have to be more specific," she answers dryly. "Nothing so far has triggered this response, so you're expecting things to get worse, and I assume it has to do with Torchwick" (edited)

11:00 AM

"I have my best on him so you need not worry."

'Why is he avoiding the question now?' "And if your best fails, what will he do?" She pauses. "Also is there anything left in that cup?" he's beeng sipping for a while... (edited)

He tilts the cup for her to see.

Her head swims. "Oh, that's a lotta coffee..."

He smiles.

11:06 AM

"Every man has a vice."

11:06 AM

She makes sure she's steady on her two feet before saying more. "Can I at least ask if you're not saying what Torchwick's after because you don't know or because you don't want to say? You know I'm talking to you now because everyone in Vale who would know has their lips sealed, I feel I should be getting at least something out of this. "

"We have no idea what they're planning to do with all the dust they're stealing." Ozpin shrugged.

11:13 AM

11:15 AM

"Miss Merten you must understand, while i do know a lot of things, im not omnipresent. Working this large scale is not characteristic of Roman Torchwick. He's something of a Gentleman Criminal, more in it for the theatrical aspect of stealing something important and tweaking the nose of the police. We believe both the local Fang branch and the criminal underworld are being coerced by an unkown third party."

"That's... concerning." But it would make sense, though there's not much I can do with just that suspicion. But I can't ignore it either, and there's a meeting coming up 3 weeks before the Vytal Festival "Well headmaster," she starts. "As a student, I am obligated to complain about the amount of extra homework you've just dropped into my lap," she says wryly. (edited)

He shakes his head. "Miss Merten, I've divulged this information to you not so you could recklessly throw yourself into danger, but so you would get over at least a small amount of your distrust of authority and keep being a student rather than a statistic."

11:28 AM

11:30 AM

"The situation out there is incredibly dangerous and volatile, especially with the Vytal festival around the corner. So i'd appreciate if yoh stayed put and let the people who've trained for this do their jobs."

"I'll try to stay out of trouble." Though, if he was telling the truth about a bounty on my head, then I might not have a choice regardless.

"Thats all i can ask. Now, i hope you've been focusing in classes because midterms are in a few weeks."

"Right. About Grimm studies actually, I had a question..."

11:41 AM

—————————————

5:13 AM

Violet regally walks towards team JAGE’s dorm room. She motions to knock on the door before pausing, taking a deep breath and knocking for real “Miss- apologies Ember are you here?” (edited)

"Oh uh, yeah gimme a bit!" Her muffled voice replied from inside, and a few moments later the door opens to reveal the shortstack in a crop top and overly baggy jersey shorts. "Oh hey there partner! What's up!" She opens the door a bit wider, moving aside, "You wanna come in?"

“Oh yes thank you” She goes inside while looking around “I’m in need of some advice and I felt more comfortable asking you than my team”

She gestures for her to take a seat with her on her own bed, taking a seat herself and grabbing a pillow to put on her lap. "That... Sounds a bit odd. Do you not like your team that much? Or do none of you haven't gotten close enough yet to warrant that?"

5:22 AM

"Or is this just like, something they aren't supposed to know?"

*Violet sits down * “I’m not overly close with Miss Marten and Mr Chariot and my own partner is an blithering idiot who cannot bear to look me in the eyes”

5:26 AM

"I suppose... That's fair enough? Why the hate on your partner though? I get not getting along but you're literally both in this together until you either graduate or one of you drops."

5:27 AM

She scratches her head, recalling how there is a surprisingly large amount of... Not wanting to kill each other in her Team, and while still not as close, she was in good terms with her partner, just as much as her other teammates were to each other. Maybe it just so happened that Violet drew the worse lot?

Violet takes a deep breath “The only times she looked me in the eye it appeared as if she was about to throw up, I’m rather meticulous with my looks and personal hygiene so that’s greatly insulting. In addition she refused to study for the tests even when the entire year did. The only thing I can give her is that she is capable in combat, however a social encounter with the girl is unbearable”

She blinks. recalling the odd woman who just... Randomly hugged her teammate without letting go.

5:31 AM

"Well... I haven't seen it for myself but from what I had seen she... Is definitely a character of all time. Well, sorry to sour your mood about her, but what was it that you wanted to talk about?"

“Ah yes….have you ever had an ambition in life? An ambition that you’ve had as long as you can remember and one that consumes your every waking moment thinking about it?”

"... Talk about curbing expectations." Ember was pretty surprised to be asked such a deep and profound question out of nowhere, seeing as how she was literally just watching funny cat videos before this. "Right, hm." She looks down at the pillow in her lap as she gathers her thoughts. "It's a bit hard to answer that one because the definition of ambition usually comes with a spectrum of passion put into it. Everyone can say they have an ambition but not to a degree that you've mentioned, which is a kind that can drive people to do quite some astounding things." She starts. "I always say 'Oh I wanna be a renowned weaponsmith, oh I wanna be a renowned Huntress, oh I wanna be the strongest and coolest Huntress there is' and etcetera-" She gestures, mocking her own self in a joking way, "-but if I do pay some more thought into it, well, it's hard to actually gauge the amount of passion I have driving me towards that ambition." She scratches her cheek as she shifts into a cross legged seat, facing her. "There are times that I don't even think about my ambitions, there are times that I even question my ambitions, but I can say that there are times where I can most certainly get incredibly driven about it. I suppose you can remember when we woke up in the infirmary after your partner has saved us from the Apathy?"

“Yes and I thank you for getting me out of that depression that day, was the last day I could remember when I completely gave up on my ambition because I could no longer see the point. Luckily it was only temporary”

She nods in response, waiting for her to finish talking.

“My ambition isn’t something that can be easily forgotten though. I’ve sacrificed sleep training, I watched videos until my scroll ran out of battery, my family got me the best combat trainers that they could find….but it always seems as if the end goal is impossible. And then I came to Beacon to train, I heard it was the best in Remnant and I thought I could finally improve with a clear mind. But once I got here I found a constant reminder to how far out of reach my ambition is”

"Huh, and I thought I had demanding parents." She jokes. "It seems like our ambition isn't that too far from each other. I can say that I don't have as much drive as you do to the point of living the whole thing, as I do take my time reaching it, but I can see what you mean." Ember shifts uncomfortably for a moment, as if hesitating on something before fully deciding on it, "The Apathy. It reminded me of... Well." She gestures, an index finger and a thumb raised up pointed to her head before the thumb falls down the finger, before she brings it back down to her pillow, a subtle, sullen look on her face. "I had a long... Long period of being in a dark time. I was pretty apathetic until then, and then even at times now whenever it decides to flare up again. But I've recovered from it now. Although because of that, when the Apathy struck, I was taken out instantly." The melancholy on her face burns away into a furious glare. "So when we woke up." Her voice got a bit louder as she looks at her, "I fucking refused to stay down. I refuse to let everyone stay down. I fucking hated being brought back to that state at such disgusting ease. To be reduced back to something I clawed my way out of. If they think they can keep me down then they should have made sure they got to me physically." "That entire shitfest was what made me realize what my actual ambition is." "To be better."

5:59 AM

"But that doesn't come instantly, and there will always be someone else better than me. I'm not perfect after all." "But that doesn't mean I'm not better than I used to be from before."

6:01 AM

Her expression softens as she catches herself, looking to the side for a second to relax and recenter herself as she combs her hair with her fingers, looking back to Violet afterwards, "Tell me, how far do you think that ambition is?"

“I apologise for reminding you of bad times but I must disagree our ambitions are not the same Yours is built of self improvement, mine is built from spite and envy.”

Ember

Her expression softens as she catches herself, looking to the side for a second to relax and recenter herself as she combs her hair with her fingers, looking back to Violet afterwards, "Tell me, how far do you think that ambition is?"

Violet closed her eyes and the sound of a sword cutting through air and the ringing of a semblance came to her mind immediately. “Not remotely close, until recently my signature weapon couldn’t use its most vital feature efficiently and for goodness sake I haven’t even unlocked my semblance”

Ember looks down at her pillow, eyes narrowed in thought before widening as she realized and looked back up to her. "... Do you happen to feel as if it's too far because you're comparing yourself with somebody?"

Violet let out a small chuckle “Very kind of you to assume the best of me but my ambition is to be better than someone very specific “

She fingerguns, "Close enough!" she winks, wanting to lighten up the mood.

“I assume based on your skills that you are familiar with my company the GLC and of course the SDC?”

She stares at her for a moment, flashbacks of hours upon hours of needless research done all because of her fantasizing. "You can say that, yeah."

6:12 AM

“My company is very successful in the logistics business that is something that can’t be denied, however we built that off the SDC doing exclusive business with us. We are utterly reliant on the SDC to maintain growth or even status quo. And that requires making nice, keeping the Schnee happy is vital to retain business relations. My family are proud people so each unearned compliment and laugh at a bad joke dealt a blow to my parents pride. One day the Heiress to the SDC’s huntress aspirations were revealed and my family found that we had 1 way in which we could finally be superior to the Schnees. That’s me, I must be the superior huntress to her”

6:21 AM

Holy shit, did she just get into some rich people tea? Granted, it is the Schnees they were talking about, so it's fair game, but still- Ember suddenly looks very, very interested, "And just so we're clear, you want this? Or is it your parents coercing you?" (edited)

“When I was younger I won’t deny it was my parents who pushed me so hard. But now? I’ve lived with this goal for so long that if I abandon it now it will eat away at me for as long as I live I would like to say however that they did not force me into combat training, I chose that willingly before we heard about Miss Schnee’s huntress ambitions and it is an incredibly enjoyable experience especially after a lot of school work or paperwork.” (edited)

She stares at her for a moment, squinting at her incredously as she reads into her words, "Ooooookay." An odd glee spreads on her face, "Now that I know that this won't exactly truly brutally and painfully tear you apart as a person the longer you live and breathe and eventually turn you into a villain." She jokes. "I would like to help you one up those Schnees." A grin spreads across her face. "While we may differ in philosophies, I can definitely get behind that Schnee hate train. Those assholes deserve it ever since Jacques came to be."

6:32 AM

"Though uh, just a quick note, learn to drop envy and spite. You will eventually attract Grimm with that if you keep feeding it. It'd be hard granted how Weiss is literally right there but you're gonna have to eventually change your views on that. I don't need to remind you of the fact that we live in a world where negativity sows death after all and we're quite literally training to get rid of what was sown." (edited)

Violet’s face got quickly overtaken by surprise “Oh wow I was not expecting that, I would gladly accept your help you seem very capable. Also it is nice to finally be able to share this.”

6:35 AM

“….and il try, I can promise nothing as the inner workings of the mind are difficult to control but I’ll try to keep my emotions under control”

She quickly gets a finger poking her arm, "Oi, my help is fueled by very small amounts of spite and the hope that I can actually get you to adopt a less toxic philosophy granted to you by your own parents, because I'm gonna be real chief, you literally sounded like you were talking about the backstory of a villain in one of the animes I watch."

6:37 AM

"Granted, a well written villain, but still a baddie regardless."

6:37 AM

She suddenly sighed, "If only she was real..." she joked. (edited)

6:37 AM

"But yeah! Didn't expect anything like this coming into Beacon, I will not lie, but I'm happy you can get it off your chest."

6:40 AM

A cheeky grin slowly spreads across her face once more, "You know... I still haven't properly given you the advice you were looking for. I can't provide you a Semblance, heck, I don't even have one, but what I can provide you... Is a spar."

6:42 AM

"I've seen Myrtenaster before as well as how Weiss uses it, and I'm sure you've seen it too, but have you ever seen something similar to it and yet go so much faster?"

Ember

She quickly gets a finger poking her arm, "Oi, my help is fueled by very small amounts of spite and the hope that I can actually get you to adopt a less toxic philosophy granted to you by your own parents, because I'm gonna be real chief, you literally sounded like you were talking about the backstory of a villain in one of the animes I watch."

“….my thought process isn’t that bad”

Violet/Garter

“….my thought process isn’t that bad”

She stares at her, "You wanna know how many tropes you've struck?"

6:43 AM

(edited)

Ember

"I've seen Myrtenaster before as well as how Weiss uses it, and I'm sure you've seen it too, but have you ever seen something similar to it and yet go so much faster?"

Violet thinks back to all of times she watched Weiss’ combat training videos that her family got her Yes I am very familiar in fact Miss Marten’s weapon is near identical but no I have not seen something much faster I assume that’s where you come in?”

Ember

She stares at her, "You wanna know how many tropes you've struck?"

“I’ll be honest I’m not familiar with anime, I grew up with classic literature”

Violet/Garter

Violet thinks back to all of times she watched Weiss’ combat training videos that her family got her Yes I am very familiar in fact Miss Marten’s weapon is near identical but no I have not seen something much faster I assume that’s where you come in?”

She fingerguns at her with a wink, clicking her tongue, "Bingo."

Violet/Garter

“I’ll be honest I’m not familiar with anime, I grew up with classic literature”

And then she stares at her again. "Alright, tell me how much tropes you've struck then."

Ember

And then she stares at her again. "Alright, tell me how much tropes you've struck then."

“I truly do not think my ambitions or my reasoning for such are that outrageous I don’t understand what you mean by me striking tropes”

"That's because you've probably haven't read a well written villain yet." She pats her arm as she puts her pillow to the side and stands up, stretching ~~as her breast boobs boobily from the motion~~ with a yawn.

6:49 AM

"Anyways, come on, I'm actually kinda excited to spar with you. I wanna see Gilded shine."

“I’ll be happy to spar with you Ember thank you for offering to help”

She waves her hand, "Don't mention it pardner!" Her face suddenly becomes serious for a moment, "Just keep in mind that if I suddenly retract my help you're probably reaching a path of no return." Then she perks right back up again, "Come on! Loser buys lunch!"

The weapon smith stares at her test result in Grimm Studies with a twitching eye.

6:38 PM

Professor Port Laughs. Having recounted a story from his youth for the entire duration of the exam. It involved a patch of lettuce, a cabbage and a dead goliath.

Ember slowly sinks into her table, covering her head with the failed paper, shuddering and seething in rage.

"Oh man. I almost failed. But i didn't! Go me" Monkey happy

Iris looks at the 90 on her history paper with disappointment. "Less than 100... the author of this book was biased anyway, I wasn't going to play into his narrative just to game the grading system," she mutters (edited)

6:42 PM

Violet looked at her results sheet 'Not bad but it could be better, how did i forget my business classes? I'm far too distracted nowadays'

Azuli paused to stare at her test papers. Man, she’d never felt so lucky to have dead parents! And a dead headmaster too, but that didn’t feel particularly appropriate at the moment.

Crimson forgot to stop his tail from wagging as He looked at his results He passes! Woohoo!

9:12 PM

=====

Violet leaves Professor Port's lecture hall shaking her hand out from the cramp it sustained from trying to note down the entirety of Port's onslaught of stories "Did you pay attention to class this time Miss Red?"

[2;33m[1;33mOLIFANT [0m[2;33m[0m- As always.

[2;35m[1;35mDURENDAL [0m[2;35m[0m- Why wouldn't you? Face-To-Face accounts and retellings of historic heroic deeds! It really is a dream come true~!

[2;33m[1;33mBRUNELLO [0m[2;33m[0m- Somehow, you've never gotten tired of it.

[2;34m[1;34mANGELICA [0m[2;34m[0m- Yes, but did you understand the *lessons?*

Iris walks towards the next room alongside the rest of the team, having snuck a recording of a lecture on her scroll with the intent of transcribing it at a slower pace later "Next class is combat," she notes, turning to Baja as well. "Good chance for you to put on a good show after last week"

"I have genuinely no idea how you managed to bomb every class." Hed_emty

3:18 PM

Combat class is a good chance to see how Vomit Boy's doing...

Right up ahead of them, team JNPR was talking excitedly among eachh other.

[2;35m[1;35mOLIVIER DE GENNES[0m[2;35m[0m - Stronger, stronger, stronger-

3:19 PM

-# "Nora, no."

3:21 PM

The short redhead is funny, I should enable that behavior...

The young man with a pink stripes is actually respectable I should introduce myself

Is that just a regular sword and shield? I should get one of those from the school armory...

Violet/Garter

The young man with a pink stripes is actually respectable I should introduce myself

Blue eyes locked onto Violet from behind a fringe of orange hair.

3:24 PM

Team JNPR entered Miss Goodwitch's class.

'Why do i feel so threatened all of a sudden?' Violet thinks to herself before ensuring her polite smile is on her face and reaching out a hand to shake "Hello, I do not believe our teams have been properly acquainted yet, my name is Violet Glade of team MRVS"

3:29 PM

"I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AXE LADY! AND YOU SHALL NOT TAKE ME OFF MY THRONE OF BIGGEST WEAPON FOR I AM THE QUEE-"

3:29 PM

Their team leader puts a hand over her mouth.

3:30 PM

Mine is bigger...

"Yeah, hi. Im Jaune, this is Nora, and these two are Pyrrha and Ren. Though you probably know that? Nice to officially meet i suppose."

3:30 PM

Your classmate of the last two months gives an awkward smile.

"Hi Jaune! How are things?" He sure hopes he doesn't come across as menacing...

"Your team mate certainty has a large...personality. I must assume that team activities are lively"

Is that a euphemism?

"Witch, i totally meant witch!"

3:36 PM

The teacher strutted into the classroom.

Violet goes to her seat

Dear diary, I almost saw someone die today

Everyone was quick to take their spots as the undisputed ruler of Beacon took to the stage, snapping her riding crop at every tardy student and launching them to their seats.

She coughed a little to get everyone's attention. "With the Vytal festival so close. It is imperative now more than ever for you to focus on your combat scores. Only the five top ranked teams in beacon will be allowed to attend as our representatives after all."

3:51 PM

She paused to let the words sink in. "Now, who wants to Volunteer as the first combatant of the day?"

3:51 PM

Instantly a hand shot up from the crowd.

3:52 PM

"OH ME! ME! Pick me Miss Witch!"

3:52 PM

The blonde of Team Rwby called out.

3:53 PM

Damn.

Glynda raised a brow. "So it seems we have two volunteers. Okay then co-"

3:56 PM

Yang blurted in.

3:56 PM

"Actually, Miss Goodwitch, can i try what Pyrrha did last week?"

3:56 PM

The teacher was stunned for a moment.

3:57 PM

"Are you sure about this, Miss Xiao Long? Being outnumbered is a massive balance shifter even if you are a better one on one combatant."

[2;36m[2;35m[1;35m[0;35m[0;35m[0m[0;35m[0m[1;35m

Yang pauses.

Violet looks at the situation with the baffelment she's come to expect from her partner

"I will allow a one versus four if your team also agrees, miss Baja, however you are quite allowed to refuse."

"I don't have any experience against human opponents yet so I may not make much of a difference either way," Iris admits, stepping back to let her team decide

"If she wants to fight 'er alone, why not? No reason to step in unduly, I think." Though, I kinda did want to fight the blonde... Should assert myself more, I think.

[2;36m[1;36m[1;33mCOMMEDIA - What are you planning?

"Fine, i guess."

"Call it next time and we'll do it Thunk

4:03 PM

She steps into the ring opposite from Baja. Bracelets shifting from her wrists into her gauntlets.

Violet made sure to pay rapt attention to see what made her partner so capable in combat and to see Yang's fighting style

"Her aura changed colour again," Iris comments as she sits back down with her team in the peanut gallery, the tiniest hint of jealousy managing to sneak its way into the observation

Yang gnashes her teeth at the fact that she wasnt allowed to fight the whole team. Dashing forward with a strong left hook to start the fight.

She shoots an odd glance at her teammates before looking back "It is strange though, I have never heard of a semblance being able to change the color of someone's aura..." ThoughTs

As Baja manages to barely block her first punch, yang introduces a blast of Fire dust to her face, followed by another one, putting the shorter girl at nearly half aura with three decisive strikes.

4:30 PM

She smirks and backs off.

"You really shoulda brought your team witcha."

Violet is struck dumb from the sheer, gods damn, amount of bullets that Baja is firing 'Where did she get enough ammo before beacon that this is her go too strategy?' she thinks to herself (edited)

5:13 PM

Glynda grabbed Baja before she could fly off into a wall.

5:13 PM

"Winner by Aura, Miss Xiao Long."

5:14 PM

She set Baja down with her telekinesis before beginning to berate Yang for backing down and allowing her enemy to get the upper hand in a fight.

[1;2m[0m

'Well... it's an opportunity to see team RWBY in action some more. And as team leader, I do have a duty to talk up my teammates,' Iris smirks to herself. "Baja does raise a good point- I'm not sure letting Silver fight anyone but that Sanctum champion is fair to the other students here," she muses out loud, though making sure her voice carries over. "Not after seeing what he did to those elder Grimm our team encountered..."

'What are they up to?' Violet thought to herself

"Uh huh?"

Silver remains stone-faced, with his arms crossed in his seat.

5:29 PM

I Have No Idea What They're Yapping About...

"Your fight for the class is over Miss Xiao Long." The teacher called out.

5:29 PM

Yang sighed and went back to her seat.

5:29 PM

"Any other Volunteers?"

[2;35m[1;35mCASTLE OF IRON[0m[2;35m[0m - Again.

[2;36m[1;36mYOU [0m[2;36m- (Raise your hand-)[0m

Violet raises her hand "I volunteer Miss Goodwitch"

Glynda glared at Baja before turning to Violet.

5:33 PM

"It seens Miss Glade wishes to Volunteer. Now Miss Glade, do you have an opponent in mind?"

Violet's mind was overtaken by a cacophony of noise as differing opinions screamed in her mind before they grew silent in acknowledgement that she had to try "I would like to challenge Miss Schnee if that is alright"

-# "oh dang. Princess fight" A voice from the furthest back of the class seat said in amusement

Glynda turned around to send a look to Miss Schnee.

5:37 PM

"Does the winner get the loser's kingdom?"

There were bags under her eyes.

[2;36m[1;36mYOU [0m[2;36m- "Let the bourgeois destroy each other"[0m

"Miss Schnee is unable to participate in combat today due to sickness. She has already given me the note from our in house nurse."

Violet is seen exiting a fancy looking boutique in Vale with a bag full of designer clothes “Lovely to have a me day once in a while to destress without the worries of everything else”

The day was nice so far, the weather was sunny and it was slightly breezy. A perfect room temperature.

Monkey strolling through the city of vale alone. Doing monkey business

That was the last name on her list of contacts, and nothing Either Ozpin and the police executed the most successful counterintelligence operation against the White Fang to date, which she could check in police records, or she really was being cut off for the dumbest reason possible

I don't think either of us should be wandering around Vale alone at this point "Sounds good! The store I wanted to check out here closed down anyway"

Gold clicks her tongue. "Her brain is wired wrong, looking at you is nearly enough to give this mortal an aneurysm."

“I can agree that her mind is wired wrong”

"What the flip???" Iris stares at the mysterious red presumably alcoholic beverage in her hands Well only one thing to do after today She continues drinking it (edited)

"Ah, bad call."

Iris is gone

4:40 PM

A second Baja stands in her place (edited)

4:40 PM

"Ah, bad call"

"You really shouldn't have drank Ambrosia like that, foolish mortal."

4:41 PM

Gold shakes her head in disappointment.

Jojo blink "Wait. Did you drug her?"

"No, she drugged herself."

Violet shakes her head. "I would have hoped our team leader would have known better than to drink a strange liquid produced by Miss Red's unknown semblance."

"The hell Red? That's not funny. Iris you okay my dood?"

4:44 PM

"Heh??"

"This is the first time I've seen a mortal survive consuming Ambrosia. Probably due to that Aura thing that has popped up recently. The side effects are admittedly... new to me."

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"The hell Red? That's not funny. Iris you okay my dood?"

4:45 PM

Crimson nods in the affirmative

"Curious."

4:46 PM

Order - Quite.

Dark - Amusing.

"Heeeh??? Did you unlock your semblance by doing drugs???"

4:46 PM

Jojo panicked. Hes the only Guy here. A Faunus at that too. He'll get the blame for the drunken girl (edited)

“Ok if we must have a conversation like this I feel like we should go to a cafe and sit down because I have a feeling we’re walking in random directions”

"Huh. What's with our teammates finding out about semblances while talking to each other," asks Silver

"We have been taking left turns on the first corner for the last fifteen turns."

Violet/Garter

“Ok if we must have a conversation like this I feel like we should go to a cafe and sit down because I have a feeling we’re walking in random directions”

Busted. She realises Jojo made them walked in circles

"We have been taking left turns on the first corner for the last fifteen turns."

"... it's a good exercise"

"It is not."

"It is exercise for those who languish and waste their mortal bodies with gluttony. Yet everyone here is a trained warrior. This does not even come close to an exercise."

“Ok everyone follow me we’re going to a cafe I know, drinks and pastries are on me” Violet turns and walks to an actual direction

"OOH COOKIES," exclaims Ruby excitedly (edited)

"She has no limits?!. Ooh. Now do ozpin"

"WHERE SHE GET THE CUP!"

"The cup is magically attuned to him. Its quite the advanced spellwork really. It seems the old Wizard has improved in the short dozen milennia since we've been gone."

"we? Oh God there's more god complex in there Red? Not just Gold?"

Violet/Garter

“There are cups of coffee or hot chocolate or whatever he drinks at the cafe now follow me I do not trust you on the open road as you are now”

Jojo follows the rich girl

Nora jitters and vibrates

as they walk. Jojo spots a certain Store "Hey you three go on without me. There's some place i need to go to. Later!"

5:06 PM

[2;36mYOU - (Stand Awkwardly)[0m

“Ok am I the only person acting normally here now?”

"Normal is relative with you mortals."

“Well I am also basing it off mortal actions”

"I do believe my decorum has been perfectly acceptable," sniffs Weiss Schnee

The screaming begins again in Violet’s head “I hope this one passes quickly”

"Is it not uncouth to wish a short life on an acquaintance?"

"Perhaps I misjudged Miss Glade," Weiss responds

"The new age Mage may perhaps be right."

5:17 PM

Gold nods. Arms crossed.

“I wish no harm upon my acquaintances, I just wish to spend less time with some than others”

Gold simply observes.

"That's hardly the attitude one would like to see in a successful team. I had some doubts about my own team leader at first, but I've realized that learning to work in the roles we've been given is an important part of our huntress education," says Weiss (edited)

-# Go off Ice Queen!

“I have few doubts in my team leader at this point, I simply dislike this personality that seems to have come up at this moment”

5:31 PM

“Also how do you know what lessons Miss Schnee has learned you’re not her?”

"I believe your team leader was Miss Marten, not Miss Red, was it not? And you just said you preferred this golden personality," Weiss responds slightly confused, cocking an eyebrow (edited)

Violet/Garter

“Also how do you know what lessons Miss Schnee has learned you’re not her?”

"But I am 'Miss Schnee'," she responds, more confused this time (edited)

Order - Alright i think this is enough time.

Light - What?

5:42 PM

Baja's aura glows silver as the golden hue is banished deep into her core, being replaced by its usual normal color.

"But I am 'Miss Schnee'," she responds, more confused this time (edited)

The screams in her head get steadily louder as her eye twitches

"Are you alright? You look like you're heating up," Weiss asks, looking concerned. "Must be that stupid cold going around... Damnit Ruby, close those windows!" she says off to the side, shaking a fist (edited)

‘Relax Violet, don’t freak out it is simply your team playing an inane prank. Don’t shatter another window like you did to that mirror’ ‘Take deep breaths like that therapist taught you ~~that was a useless quack who wasted our time~~. Remember what Ember said and control your emotions.’ Violet thought to herself as her calm and polite visage started showing cracks

“….Im going back to Beacon, do not expect me back in the dorm for several hours” Violet said before rushing off, desperately trying to maintain her Nobel disposition and appearance despite her inner turmoil

Crimson, falling back to old habits when separated from his team, helps out with little 'sidequests' as one of his aunties would call em all around Vale It's a good way to get used to being in the city Gets a bit overwhelming sometimes though So there he was, sat on the edge of a rooftop for a moment and kicking at the wind as he wound down for a moment as he sipped at some 'bubble' tea (edited)

Aggressive movement catches his eye as he sat on the rooftop The faunus quirks an eyebrow Oh huh, it's Violet ...Man, she looks pissed, maybe a biscuit would help? He should still have some cookies left over from helping that grandma around Might as well share the blessing Crimson nods to himself, and does a quick flash step to Violet "Hey, bad day?" He says with concern (edited)

Violet looked up shocked “Oh no I’m….nevermind I do not have the energy for the normal facade. Yes Mr Gerhart I’m having a poor day, or rather I’m having a poor last 30 minutes. My team mates seem determined to drive me insane”

He can't say he knows what that's like so instead he- Offers her a cookie

7:08 PM

Violet takes one “Thank you”

"Wanna Vent about it?"

“…depends are you willing to listen to my years long life consuming ambition? Nevermind I can shorten it to the parts relevant to today, Miss Red finally seemed willing to talk to me after her eye became gold (need to interrogate her on that later) and a new personality came out who claimed to be a God. Anyways that God or personality in Miss Red’s head or whatever they are did something to Miss Marten’s drink and when she drunk it she started acting like other people like Professor Ozpin or….Weiss Schnee and that just set me off I guess, also your leader ditched me with them when this all happened. Apologies for unloading this all onto you” (edited)

On the side of the same building where the emergency stairs are.A monkey heade pokes out looking at the two

"No no it's fine!" Crimson waves it off, offering her a brownie with a smile "I offered to hear your venting so go off sister, gotta keep our hearts light in this line of work" (edited)

7:22 PM

Violet takes the brownie and starts eating it gratefully “Thank you, I sincerely wish that you were my partner. Life would be a lot less stressful for me” (edited)

Crimson seems a bit flustered at that, rubbing the back of his head for a moment before looking at her a bit worriedly "You've tried talking with your team about this right? About how they're stressing you out?" Venting is temporary relief, need to fix it Surely Frank and honest communication would work! (edited)

Jojo silently cheering on Crim supportive rizz

Violet shakes her head forlornly “Miss Marten is fine normally today however she just somehow eerily impersonated someone who triggers me after she drank that thing that Miss Red’s God personality gave her, think they called it ambrosia, and apparently Miss Red looking at me is enough to cause her an aneurism so it’s impossible to talk to her”

Crimson seems a bit flustered at that, rubbing the back of his head for a moment before looking at her a bit worriedly "You've tried talking with your team about this right? About how they're stressing you out?" Venting is temporary relief, need to fix it Surely Frank and honest communication would work! (edited)

“Also my team, albeit not being a calming force, is not the source of my inner turmoil. Miss Marten’s perfect impersonation of Miss Schnee seemed as if she was here and I…. It felt as if she was next to me talking down to me ~~like those nightmares I had~~”

Jojo shakes his head from his spot He thinks she should just confront her instead avoiding her for the past two months

Crimson frowns a bit at that "And you really don't like Weiss Schnee huh?" There was something here, something familiar (edited)

Violet realises with a jolt that she revealed too much, she’s meant to be polite and respectful. What would her parents say if she publicly revealed that she disliked a Schnee? “Ah my apologies no I am fine with her I am just having a poor day with my team and I dislike being talked down to”

Crimson frowns, a bit worried about that but let's it slide for now "Yeah, I can get that I kept getting talked down to by Fern back then for being bad at Dust casting" Before a little smile grew on his face "Stung a lot less when I beat her though, and things got a bit weird after that..." he trails off, thinking about how different the cities are from the frontier

“I’ve recently starting to pick up dustscsting though I will admit I am not the best at it, all I can manage so far is using dust to make a wave and I mostly just use lightning since that’s the dust Gilded Ambition uses”

"Same here, mostly, dust casting isn't one of my best suites but Grimseeker isn't exactly the kind of weapon designed to go through hordes of Lesser grim" Crimson sheepishly admits

8:26 PM

"You feeling better now?"

“Yes thank you, you are a wonderful conversation partner I’m going to head back to beacon now but I’m going to grab some scones from a bakery like I wanted to when I first came to Vale today, if you want I can leave some by your dorm? In a pastry box of course” (edited)

"Mind if I come with instead? Kinda curious on what else I haven't seen in Vale, this city is huuuuge!"

8:30 PM

Jojo give Crim his nod of approval

Needs To Be Studied

"Mind if I come with instead? Kinda curious on what else I haven't seen in Vale, this city is huuuuge!"

“Sure I don’t see why not. I’ve lived in the upper class area of Vale for my whole life barring any business trips, I know the area quite well. If you want to see the bakery follow me”

8:34 PM

And Violet goes to lead Crimson to the nice bakery after her calm, then stressful, and now calm again day

Jojo grins at the interaction. Crim expanding his interactions. That's good Jojo then sighed and frowned while looking into the distance He jumps away with flash step without anyone noticing

7:18 AM

Violet walks to team JAGE’s door before knocking on it “Hello is there any chance Ember is here?” (edited)

"Coming!" A muffled, familiar voice called out in response a few moments later, followed by the door opening to show Ember in her usual crop top and baggy shorts, only this time, with wet hair and smelling of lemons. "Oh hey, what's up partner?"

“Oh apologies if I disturbed you it’s just some…..circumstances have come up recently regarding what I last talked to you about”

"Oh it's fine, I was just about done 'drying'-" she airquotes "-my hair. And is it about her? Oh and uh, come in come in, unless you wanna take this somewhere else more private?" She moved aside, allowing her to enter should she wish for it. (edited)

“That depends are any of your team mates here?”

"Hiya Violet!" Crimson chirps up waving as he looked up from where he sat on his bed, notebook and scroll laid down (edited)

"Eeeeyup." Was simply her reply, seeing as how her teammates answered for her already. (edited)

“Hello Miss Lapelle and Mr Gerhart, I trust you’re doing well?”

She received a thumbs up from Azuli and a polite little wave, even as the mute went about her business, stashing away her new rather substantial supply of whiteboards and markers (edited)

"Yeah! I'm justchecking out my notes and looking things up with the scroll, how're things with you?" Crimson says with a smile and a tilted head, ears Flopping with the motion (edited)

“I’m doing well thank you, if you don’t mind can I borrow Ember for a bit? I need to discuss something private with her”

Azuli idly wandered if it was going to be for something funny. To sneak out, follow, and stream, or to mind her business?

"Yeah I'm good, I can also go for a snack run..." The shortstack places a finger on her chin in thought before turning to the others, "Hey y'all want anything?"

Crimson's curiosity is obvious but he nods regardless as he turns towards Ember Snooping can lead to things you don't want to learn, like what the ropes are for "A pizza!" (edited)

7:59 AM

Azuli took a moment to ponder the question.

8:02 AM

She gives a pair of thumbs up at the two and turns to the rich kid, "Ayt, let's head off chief."

“Very well” Violet turns to leave and walks off

8:08 AM

Azuli promptly decided to follow, ever the quintessential image of stealth

8:08 AM

She also allegedly wasn't sure where all these tiny her sized bushes kept coming from, but she wasn't about to question her good fortune (edited)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8:11 AM

"So!" The shortstack started as she looked around them to see if there were people to hear them as they walked to... Wherever the heiress wanted to go to. "What happened partner?"

“Well I assume you saw me challenge Weiss at the last combat class? I don’t know what came over me I knew I didn’t stand a chance but something just…came over me. Something inside of me was just screaming to challenge her”

A sign popped comedically out of the bushes, only to withdraw the moment either of the duo looked over. This was surely the beginning of drama. (edited)

8:16 AM

Was the weapon autist replacing their 'glorious' Monkey leader? (edited)

"... Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" The weapon nerd asks, raising an eyebrow at her, "Oh and, where are we heading by the way? Rooftop?"

Shit, she wasn't sure they kept bushes up there

They do now.

“The roof sounds fine to me. Anyways she was sick so I couldn’t fight her but….the fact I couldn’t control myself, something just overtook me and I felt I had to.”

Foremost Soak Hater

They do now.

Man this place really did have everything!

She scratches her head for a moment as they turn a corner, "Ah! I remember now!" Turns out, daydreaming about sexy gijinkas of weapons was not a great way to spend the time. "Yeah I did wonder why you ended up doing that, though I'm not really surprised. But yeah I'm not exactly too approving of it. Do you think you can find out why?"

Thats the main school building.

“You mean my thoughts screaming at me whenever I’m near to or speaking to Weiss? They’ve kinda been here ever since I found out that Weiss was in Beacon”

Violet/Garter

“You mean my thoughts screaming at me whenever I’m near to or speaking to Weiss? They’ve kinda been here ever since I found out that Weiss was in Beacon”

oh wow. First name basis with Miss schnee? What scandal

She blinks, okay, fair enough. "Ffffair. Don't know what else I expected, Ima be real. But yeah, I suppose you're gonna have to get a better handle on it huh?"

Azuli was beginning to suspect that rather then a rebellion to overthrow their monkey leader, this was instead going to involve one, or both of them coming out of the closet.

8:35 AM

If ever there was a closet to begin with? ... Azuli had to stop and ponder the logistics of this

"... speaking of i should probably talk about what happened yesterday. I did not handle it well"

Fortunately, the trip to the rooftop wasn't really that long, "Go shoot."

"While shopping in Vale i came across Miss Red, Mr Jonquil and Miss Marten and Miss Red seemed to be taken over by a thing that changed her eye colour and referred to itself as a God, im choosing to process that later. Regardless this Gold as Mr Jonquil refered to it as did something to Miss Marten's drink which caused her to act funny. I turned away to lead us to a cafe since they clearly were in no state to be on the street.... then Miss Marten seemed to make multiple incredibly good impersonations of people that sounded like they were there...then she did Weiss"

She stares at her.

8:59 AM

"Are you uh... Are you sure you're feeling fine?"

"No in fact my mental stability is cracking at the seems, anyways she did the impersonation of Weiss and somehow spoke as if she was her and life lessons she learned at Beacon even though i doubt they've ever met? And it was like she was talking down to me like my nightmares and so i just snapped and ran off. Mr Gerhart thankfully helped me calm down, but i've heard rumours of Miss Red carrying actual Weiss Schnee back from Vale and this morning i saw a female Adam Taurus of all things in Miss Marten's bed. Can she become other people? Is that her semblance and i didnt see cause i was walking away? It feels like i'm reaching my limit and my mind is about to shatter"

The shortstack was very concerned now. "How about we uh, sit down for a moment here?" She gestures to a bench near by a bush, "At least they have some greenery here that can help calm people down?" She says, taking her own seat. (edited)

"...ok then..." She sits down on the bench

9:09 AM

*It's ok, she was very, very sneaky. Surely nobody could ever possibly discover her Clueless

*

"So uh... Does your... Other teammates have their Semblances unlocked?" She asks, trying to make sense of what she just said.

9:11 AM

She then gasps once, then twice as if she was about to sneeze before it fades, only to then suddenly sneeze. Fortunately she directed it to the bush besides her! "Ugh... Sorry about that, don't know where that one came from." (edited)

"Miss Red claims she dosnt but given her aura changing colour during the match she had with Miss Xiao Long and her eyes changing colour she must have a semblance. And Miss Marten..... it's the only explanation i can think of"

Violet/Garter

"Miss Red claims she dosnt but given her aura changing colour during the match she had with Miss Xiao Long and her eyes changing colour she must have a semblance. And Miss Marten..... it's the only explanation i can think of"

not gonna even mention her last teammates huh?

"Hmm.... I guess that's her Semblance then? We're gonna need to check it out in action some more before we can uh, figure out what the hell is actually going on." she rubs her chin for a moment, not really sure how to... Approach what the fuck she just heard. (edited)

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

They havent caused her mental damage so not relavent

"Are you sure you didn't uh, hallucinate that one?"

9:19 AM

The Knife went out, seemed to consider it strongly, then withdrew back into the bush after a moment

"....I might have hallucinated the female Adam taurus but I've heard the rumors of Weiss and Miss Red and it feels unlikely that the actual Weiss Schnee would associate herself with her"

but not impossible

She mulled it over for a moment, "Rumors?"

"There have reportedly been people who have seem Miss Red carry Weiss back from Vale and some even claim them to be dating, this being on the exact same day this happened" she gestures generally around "Feels like it unlikely to be a coinsidence"

She scratches her head, "Well it's not impossible that it could also just by coincidence, she did save us from Apathy."

"You think i've gone mad don't you?"

She shakes her head, "Not exactly, I think there's just something up with Baja who somehow gets to be in the weirdest situations. Maybe she had something similar happen with Schnee."

"I...I just don't know what to do. I can't ask Miss Red, i doubt Miss Marten will give me a straight answer and Mr Jonquil left at some point" She clutches her head in her hands "I just feel like im spiralling, if it was real then I don't understand any of my team and they can become my biggest trigger at a moment's notice, if it wasn't real then the aspiring huntress and heiress of the GLC has gone fully insane"

1

She doesn't really know how to respond to that so she just places a hand on her shoulder and gives her a caring smile, "I'm sure we can figure it out... At some point. Admittedly I think Baja is a bit more on the weirder side so that one's a bit harder, but it's not like your other teammates are hard to talk with!" She looks to the side, "I think..."

Wow, they're still going. I wonder...

9:43 AM

After a brief moment, Azuli decided not to steal Ember's scroll. Not yet at least, her vegeance would be glorious, and all the sweeter for it

"..I hope so" She says with all the energy of her previous rant gone from her voice

She pats her on the back, "You'll be fine! Just... Don't think of that encounter for a while. Here, let's start-" She looks around to the sides before leaning closer to her ear. (edited)

9:50 AM

-# "What do you think of Prof Glynda? Hot as fuck right?"

Completely devoid of the energy that she normally uses to maintain her prim and proper disposition "She's attractive but not my type"

FINALLY, SOMETHING INTERESTING!

9:54 AM

"Really now? What is your type if not MILFs?"

Instead of shutting down the conversation like she normally would she answers "I like slender girls, long hair also looks nice"

Violet/Garter

Instead of shutting down the conversation like she normally would she answers "I like slender girls, long hair also looks nice"

so weiss?

3

"Oooo you like slim, nice. I'm more of a-" A million different images of women flashes by her head in a span of a second, "... In hindsight, I don't exactly have a properly defined type, but I do like women taller than me which is pretty easy to have I suppose."

Weiss enters the room

10:00 AM

Upon seeing Violet, she immediately leaves the room

5

Luckily for Violet's mental state her head is in her hands so she doesn't see

Fortunately, neither does Ember. "Ass or chest?" She randomly blurts out.

If one were to check the bush, they would see a blinking red dot coming from it. Luckily it was obscured by the power of the narrative genre.

4

"Between those 2 chest, but i prefer legs" She says drowsily, as her earlier breakdown wore her out

"HAH! Nice!" Ember chuckled, raising her hand to dap her up.

Violet moves her hand up to meet her slightly confused, not knowing what to do

"Huh never done that before"

She pulls away, still chuckling, "Very cultured, thighs are peak, but I'm more of an ass gal. Or abs. Either or really- Wait you've never done that before???"

10:15 AM

"What's next, you never had a fist bump before?"

"....I don't think so what's that?"

10:19 AM

"Well you ball your fist up like this," She does so, facing it towards Violet and waiting for her to do the same.

She follows her lead

Then, she bumps her fist, "Usually this is done in the same manner as earlier when there's something very agreeable or cool the other person says."

10:21 AM

She doesn't actually know how to fully explain it, but she's trying.

4

"I'm guessing this is more as a result of your... Upbringing as a rich kid?"

"I suppose so, was mostly home-schooled by personal tutors, business types or combat coaches. I did go to social gatherings for other businesses we dealt with but those situations didnt really have 'fist bumps'"

10:28 AM

"Did you... Ever grow up with other kids of your own age?"

"Thinking about it no i didn't, why?"

10:30 AM

"I have my younger sister but shes about 4 years younger than me"

"... That explains a lot." She says, scratching her head, "Well I suppose I have to teach you how to be a more-" What? Normal? "Socially aware person then!"

"I'm not that bad am I?"

She stares at her for a moment before deciding not to answer it, "Going back to the series of questions- Yeaaaaaaaaaah no you kinda are." She failed to resist.

10:40 AM

"It's not like it's a bad thing, I actually find it cute-" She blinks, "Not in a- Condescending way mind you."

10:42 AM

"But it's not an issue to worry about and stuff, yanno? Now back to the other topic unless you wanna keep talking about that-" Ember freezes as she realized something in the middle of thinking of a next question. Holy shit, did she just describe Schnee? "... Whatcha think of scars? Cool and otherwise?"

"Scars? They're cute, a show of hard work"

Uhuh... "I always find 'em cool as as fuck. The more scars the more badass. Any preferred hairstyle on gals? I'm more biased towards tomboys myself so any sort of pixie cuts always catches my attention."

"Hairstyle? I like ponytails and of course i like long straight hair cause that's what i stick with. Why you ask?"

She stares at her for a moment, "Oh no particular reason, it's hard to find someone to talk to about gals that isn't a guy yanno?"

"I suppose so, though i guess I'm really out of it today. Normally I would never talk about this"

11:23 AM

"Oh, well I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable asking you about these things. Though I gotta say, you got some patrician taste."

"It's fine if i didn't want to answer one i just wouldn't, also thanks?"

Meanwhile, with the talk wrapping up the bush vanished. Had it ever truly existed at all? The world may never know

"Fair fair." She nods, "Though, one last thing... Have you ever had a relationship before? It's fine if you don't answer it though."

"I feel my lack of interaction with people my age should be enough to answer that"

She snickers, "Fair enough. At least that one you and I have in common."

"I think i'm going to spend some time away from my dorm room today...I would rather not risk anything"

"That's one way to go about it. Where would you spend your time though?" Asks Ember, suddenly trying to remember what was it her teammates wanted again.

"Probably some studying time in the library, maybe some drills with Gilded ambition too"

She raises an eyebrow at her, "I get that they're both good for you but that can't possibly be the only way you spend your time can it?"

"I do some things for myself. I enjoy having some tea and pastries and I like going shopping whenever we get time to go to Vale"

... Of course she goes shopping. "... That it? It can't just be snacks and shopping right?" She asks, now remembering that the dog probably wanted some chicken and that Azuli probably wanted some pizza.

1:02 PM

Or was it the other way around?

"...That's pretty much it i'm normally studying, training or doing paperwork for most of the time"

"... Have you ever gained fun out of any of that?"

"Training is rather fun, though less fun than active spars or combat. But studying and paperwork simply must be done for me to maintain my course as the perfect heiress"

"It can be but like... Is that really all of it? That just sounds... Dull. I know you've read books too but how frequently?"

"Oh i read classics for the sake of my studies and so that I am well read if discussion with academics is required or to ensure that we seem knowledgeable in front of business partners"

5:15 PM

She places a hand on her shoulder.

5:15 PM

"Sis.... We're gonna have to teach you how to live. Starting with actually finding hobbies." (edited)

5:16 PM

"I'm not supposed to be one to talk granted how I'm literally obsessed with weapons but damn, even I have a life."

"I'm not that bad, I already told you about my hobbies"

"Your hobbies are varying forms of training that you've learned to enjoy because you never bothered to actually look for things you'd thoroughly enjoy and be passionate about."

5:19 PM

(edited)

5:20 PM

"Asides shopping, that one at least makes sense. But only because you're rich. What do you even buy?" (edited)

"Clothes mostly"

"... How often do you buy clothes?"

"I go shopping whenever we can go to Vale, before Beacon i went about once a week. I don't always buy clothes when i go shopping -# but sometimes i get quite a few in a single day" (edited)

6:01 PM

"Man I get that drip is life but... Damn... Asides from that, anything else?"

“I enjoy visiting local cafes, I’m rather partial to pastries and tea they are my weak spot”

"Snacking is a default for everyone and I'd be more surprised if you weren't, very fancy taste though. I gotta show you that one hole in the wall spot I found. Any other asides from those two?"

“…I believe that is all”

"... Have you ever seen a movie? Watched a series? Read comics or manga? Read anything that isn't mandatory? Drawn? Sang? Cooked? Baked?" The list goes on as the baffled shortstack lists the most basic hobbies people usually have. (edited)

“I’ve accompanied my parents to the theatre a few times and as much as I enjoy baked treats we had servants at home to do that. But no I have not, I simply didn’t have the time”

"... Have you even considered of trying them?"

“It…did not cross my mind until now I will be honest. After discovering that Weiss was also here I just used the time I no longer spent on paperwork and dedicated it to training”

“I suppose you believe that I should take up another hobby?”

12:26 AM

"Ima be real with you chief, you barely sound like you're alive right now. I'm gonna need to take you out with me to either one of those karaoke machines or amusement parks or even just bake something because by the Dust that's cooked. Wait- Do you even know how to cook?"

"Ima be real with you chief, you barely sound like you're alive right now. I'm gonna need to take you out with me to either one of those karaoke machines or amusement parks or even just bake something because by the Dust that's cooked. Wait- Do you even know how to cook?"

“Ummm no? We had servants to cook for us so I never had to learn”

"... How do you plan on surviving in the wilds without rations?"

“I……didn’t think of that”

4:54 AM

“I should do some more research into edible plants and fungi, the library probably has a book on that”

"And... You plan to eat those raw?"

“It can’t be that hard right? Just put them into a pot and wait?”

"So you want to eat flavorless, bland, burnt food because you forgot to add water?"

“You didn’t have to say something that means bland twice I get your point. Do you know how to cook?”

"So you want to eat flavorless, bland, burnt food because you forgot to add water?"

“I said I get your point you don’t have to repeat yourself”

She chuckles, "Fair fair, yeah I know a thing or two, especially at baking, I make my own pastries myself back home because I'm too lazy to go out and buy 'em. The best part of it..." She pulls out her scroll, swipes a few times, and then shows her a picture of a cookie the size of a plate riddled in chocolate chips and marshmallows, "Is that I can make whatever I want."

“Oh wow that looks quite nice But anyways I don’t have time for hobbies I need to keep on top of my training and studies if I want to reach my ambition”

6:21 AM

“I might take a cooking course for cooking in the field though you make a good point for that one”

She stares at her with an unimpressed look, "If you don't want fun hobbies at least look for practical hobbies that can actually result in some very nice things, it's one thing to train and better yourself but it's another to be able to actually express yourself and your thoughts into something, yanno?" Ember closes and shrinks her scroll, pocketing it.

“I’ll.. I’ll try. Maybe baking or painting will be fun, staying far away from singing though I’m already losing to Weiss in enough things”

She snorts, "Yeah, you and me both on that singing, I already know my scratchy voice can shatter glass and all, but hey at least we can have fun baking! We can totally try making your favorite pastry too! ... Which is... What's your favorite pastry again?"

“I’m a fan of croissants”

9:08 AM

"We should... Probably start with something fairly easier than that, it's so hard to get right."

“If you say so I guess”

"Regardless thank you for listening to my woes, I should take my leave now and let you pick up your team mates' food" She says as she turns and leaves for the library, but she has a look at a cook book while she is there

The weapon nut simply nods and takes her leave, waving her goodbye, "Oh and be sure not to start on hard recipes no matter how much your pride tells you to!" She warned her, speaking from experience after almost burning down their kitchen as she takes her own leave.

Meanwhile, as Azuli made to return, she heard the monkey screaming about pegging. On second thought, she was off to the library. That place sounded much more sane

Weiss sits in Team MRVS's room, checking over all of Iris's homework answers and making corrections where necessary

"... I wonder which me is being talked about right now..."

============

Violet is carefully cooking a pasta dish in the dorm kitchen, always making sure to check the recipe every couple of minutes to see if she is forgetting anything "This isn't that bad. Just need to skip past the recipe maker's useless drivel about journeying through the villages of Vale and then follow the instructions"

A certain shortstack was on her way to the kitchen to grab some ice for her lemon lime soda, her sweet tooth acting up once more. Walking past the cook, she opens the freezer and reaches for a tray of ice cubes, closing the freezer afterwards and turning to leave, only to spot Violet atttempting to cook. "Oh shit you actually are cooking." She blurts out, "Watcha cooking there?" She asks, walking up to her as she sets her things on a counter besides them, reaching for a cup on the cupboards above them only to realize it's far too out of reach. (edited)

Crimson pops his head into the kitchen right after Ember, dog ears perking up from his head air as he sniffs the air for a moment, blinking "Oh huh, someone's cooking?"

"Oh hey Crim." His teammate greets as she puts a leg up on the counter, beginning to climb said counter just to reach that damn glass.

"Hello again" Crimson gives her a cheerful lil grin in return as he walks into the kitchen proper, looking over to Violet (edited)

"I am cooking carbonara. I remember enjoying it when my family's chef cooked it a while ago so i decided to try and replicate it. So i went and found a recipe for it. I hope it is good because of the drivel that i had to read past to find the actual recipe"

"You're getting into cooking too or is it something you've done before?" Crimson says with a tilted head and a hum, looking at the refrigerator for a moment, thinking about the bits and ingredients he got around Vale Maybe he should try to make something too, get some more practice in (edited)

The smaller woman grabs the cup and hops down the counter, ~~chest breasting boobily~~ setting the glass to the side as she snaps out some ice cubes to put into said glass. "That sounds like a nice one to start with, and Dust, yeah, people who share recipes just don't fucking stop yapping, it's insane how even in cooking books they still yap!" She complained, cracking open her can of soda to pour into the glass.

"You're getting into cooking too or is it something you've done before?" Crimson says with a tilted head and a hum, looking at the refrigerator for a moment, thinking about the bits and ingredients he got around Vale Maybe he should try to make something too, get some more practice in (edited)

"Yes, your teammate here thought that I 'Wasn't living life' and told me that I needed more hobbies, I enjoy eating fine food so I decided that I should learn to cook"

"Yeah because your hobbies involve literally two things and only one of them is actually agreeable." She sips.

Ember

"Yeah because your hobbies involve literally two things and only one of them is actually agreeable." She sips.

"What issue do you find with shopping and eating at cafes?"

"Always good to have something to keep your mind off the Grimm!" Crimson chirps out as takes some of the stuff he picked up from Vale He was thinking...Marshmallows, that's something he's never made before!

"To be honest chief, it's dull that it's literally just those two." She chuckles, "It makes sense given how you're rich though."

A second very tired looking Violet walks in, scone in hand, intent on hiding away from her team in the last place she expected the actual Violet to be in to avoid explaining why there are two Violets in the first place She drops it in shock at the sight of the first Violet cooking

One of Crimson's ears turn towards the sound, followed by his eyes as he sets down the ingredients he's gonna need for some marshmallows And Blinks at the sight of another Violet, turning towards the first Violet then back to the second one, then back to the first Violet as he tilts in head in confusion "You have a twin?" (edited)

“No, also Ember I would like an apology for you deeming me to have imagined what I spoke to you about” She points the knife she used to slice the pancetta at the imposter “Now you explain”

"I am unsure if an explanation exists" The other Violet just looks at the knife warily "This has been happening ever since we drank that concoction produced by Miss Red's semblance, and I expect as much sense from it as I do the girl herself"

The shortstack slowly looks at her drink before grabbing the spent can to look at its expiry date.

Crimson slowly works at his attempt at Marshmallows while trying to keep keen attention at the showdown

"I am unsure if an explanation exists" The other Violet just looks at the knife warily "This has been happening ever since we drank that concoction produced by Miss Red's semblance, and I expect as much sense from it as I do the girl herself"

“Of course the source of my headaches continues to be my loathsome partner, any estimate on when it will be over and I can rest easy again? At least I know I have not gone insane, that’s a comforting fact”

"I think the only one you could ask about that is my eccentric teammate, and I am rather worried the opposite of a solution may come of that" "In the meantime, I have a need for something strongly caffeinated to alleviate the onset of an existential crisis"

"I would recommend a preferred brand but i assume you know it already, I am also cooking carbonara if you wish to eat with us. As long as you dont look like Miss Red or how you were like when I left in Vale, I do not mind you being here"

The shortstack was still in shock.

1:14 PM

Crimson relaxed, nodding along as he worked on his marshmallows Still pretty weird but not the first time he's seen clones in action (edited)

"Carbonara sounds lovely and I would rather avoid getting to know any of the machinations of Miss Red's brain" "What happened in Vale? I have no memory of the incident, besides the memory of memories that aren't mine, it's rather disconcerting"

"Think about the worst person for us to see unprepared, it was them"

"Ah" "You have my apologies for that"

"It is Miss Red's fault not yours, regardless I need to pay attention to the dish" She turns around to the pancetta she's browning and noticing that because she took her attention off them for a while that one side has stopped browning and was starting to burn -# "Oh goodness i should have turned the heat off" She says before trying to correct things and hoping nobody noticed (edited)

"Miss Red stubbornly refuses to admit that she has a semblance but she was the cause of these events, you could ask Mr Jonquil for additional insight if you wish as he was there for most of the event"

Crimson's ears twitched

"Mr Gerhart, Ember is your leader hanging off the building outside the window? I refuse to look at this tomfoolery myself"

-# "I am definitely not outside the window so you don't have to check it"

"Yes, yes he is. Fuck you doing there?"

"ah. Just. Hanging around"

Crimson, starting to get used to this brand of chicanery, raises an eyebrow as he nods towards the kitchen "You wanna come in or what?"

"Nnnoo thank you. I like it here. I can hear multiple conversations from outside windows" "Did you know Cardin wax his legs and like to sing Mistral songs when he's alone?"

"That explains the screaming from time to time..." The shortstack murmured.

"Huh, neat" Crimson comments before saying: "You want some marshmallows? Decided to try my hand at making some" (edited)

1:42 PM

"Hmmm. I guess processed food is fine now and then. Hit me chef Aaaa" Jojo opened his mouth

Crimson let's out an amused huff as takes a piece of Marshmallow and aims towards his leader's open mouth

Violet is adding the noodles to the pan with the pancetta and adding the egg and cheese mixture, purposefully ignoring the tomfoolery happening at the window

Atleast it's not someone asking you to use a stun baton on them Crimson thinks, staring out into space for a long moment (edited)

Violet puts the finishing touches on her carbonara "I'm done, anyone want a serving? I did not take into account the amount of servings that i was making"

"Sure! I'll trade you some marshmallows and a sandwich for one" Crimson chirps up, snapping out of the memories

Jojo slides his plate to Crim

The shortstack takes a fork and to spool up a bite with, taking into her mouth to taste.

Violet takes a bite, it tastes alright all things considered but the slightly burned meat does bring it down a bit

She blinks. "Mmh. Not bad. Bit burnt though."

"...yes apologies, I left the heat on when my doppelganger entered and i didn't notice it burning"

"Fair enough." She says, taking another mouthful.

To explain why Jojo can't talk IC due to milky tryna sleep ooc Jojo leaves the kitchen to do more snooping of Gossips

"Add some more salt too next time." Says the shortstack with a mouth full of pasta.

"Understood"

"My next dish will blow you away, I'll make sure of it" She says as she puts her bowl back into the sink and starts to wash up

The shortstack adds her own bowl shortly after, "I'll be sure to be prepared for getting blown."

Pixelated Neko Scientist

Nyaaa~ This is such a cute picture! It's pixel art, meow, of a girl with long, pretty pink-red hair in pigtails. She's wearing a super adorable white lab coat with a little bow tie, and the cutest detail? Neko ears! They're light-colored, maybe cream or beige, and triangular. Her eyes are big and round, a bright, almost glowing yellow, and she looks... a little worried or sad? Her expression is so sweet, even though she seems a bit down. The whole style is very soft and gentle, like a magical girl from a really charming anime! The pixel art is really well-done, too; you can see all the little details even though it's not super high-resolution. It's just the sweetest thing!

The fuck

"Let's go for lobster then, I find it is the more unique experience"

1:00 PM

She walks them too a restaurant called 'The emerald sea' and books them a table with ease (edited)

Ember stares at the long ass line as she follows her to the table, a very amused smirk on her face when they get sat to the table, nodding in thanks to the waiter, "I'm assuming you're a regular here with how fast we got in?"

"More or less yes, seafood is a personal favourite of mine"

"Well, I haven't eaten much seafood yet but from experience I think I like them all, so I'll let you pick my order since you know this the best it seems."

Violet flags down a waiter "Hello could we have the Roasted shellfish for two please? So lobster, tiger prawns and scallops with garlic butter. And for drinks could I have a cinnamon tea and... Ember what do you want to drink?"

"Do they have any citrus juices? If they have any orange juice I'd like a glass." She politely asks, feeling a liiiiiiiiiiitle shy given the situation.

"So orange juice then thank you very much" Violet says as the waiter goes back to the kitchen "We shouldn't have to wait too long, the kitchens in places like these work impeccably together"

"I can imagine it's probably because they're paid nicely, if not flat out getting commissions too." She nods, "Oh also, you mentioned having never eaten ot with someone who's not your family or business partner? You've never eaten out with a friend before?"

"Yes like I said before I never really had the chance. I was home-schooled and I never had the opportunity to make friends" (edited)

"Damn... Remind me to take you with me on my food trips to Vale, I need to show you some really good hidden spots that need more loving. While I'm sure this place is absolutely gourmet and all that-" She scooches just a bit closer, leaning over the table a bit with a hand by her mouth as if to whisper, "I know some places that serve food made with love."

"I would like to take you up on that some day" Violet said softly

She chuckles, "Maybe after the dance or maybe even during the Vytal Festival! I know a lotta places that have such great stuff for undeservingly low prices man, I know you'd love 'em. Maybe we can invite our Teams too?"

"That sound's like a good idea, I admit I am not as close with my team as I could be. So a bonding moment would likely be useful"

"Speaking of, how's your relationship with them going so far? Surely y'all got a little more closer after uh, the last mission we had. Where we could have died so many times." (edited)

“I do trust them more, especially Miss Marten from what happened when we were in Vale together before since she showed herself to be a capable leader -# albeit one who does not know how to check her scroll But for personal matters I do not see myself going to them”

"Going to them or with them? Like, you don't wanna hang out with them alone or?" Ember gestures with her hands, spinning them around each other as she tries to figure out what she meant.

"Well in Miss Red's case we actively avoid each other, but for the other two I'm fine spending time with them but I do not see myself confiding in them like I do with you"

She scratches her head, "That sounds like something you need to work on just a bit more. Much as I get wanting to keep yourself, this are the same people you're fighting alongside with, best to have a bond with them because, well, they might very well just save your life. Just like Crimson did with mine back in that mission. My Aura was almost snuffed before got to me, if I had taken that hit I'd have been a goner."

"I'll.. I'll make an effort. Though I refuse to apologise to Miss Red, I have nothing to apologise for"

She shrugs, "That's on her from what I can tell, but at least make the effort to learn how to work with her. Who knows, maybe a problem arises where you two get separated from the team and are forced to be together until you can manage to regroup with the rest."

"I will consider it"

2:03 PM

Violet notices that the waiter is back with their meal "Thank you very much, I told you that the kitchen here is fast"

Ember nods and mutters a quick thanks to the waiter just as she picked up her glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, taking a sip with a grunt of appreciation, "Fresh and... Fresh. Good stuff right here." She says, taking a look at their spread. "Oh shit hold on, I wanna take a pic of these." She says, taking her scroll to snap two quick shots of their meals. "Oh and uh, I'm not one for pictures but I do take one in special occasions, would you like to be in shot with me?"

Violet is taken aback for a second "Oh of course, I don't mind"

"Sweet! My mom's gonna be really pleased when I show this to her." She turns around, aims the camera at them both, and readies to snap the shot, "Say cheese!"

"Cheese?"

Camera noise.mp3

2:18 PM

Ember puts the Scroll down as she looked down at the picture with a smile, showing it to Violet afterwards.

"Oh it looks rather nice, thank you" (edited)

"Would you like me to send you a copy?" She asks, pulling her scroll back.

"Yes please"

She fiddles with her scroll just a bit longer before closing it, "Sent! Now why don't we chow down before it gets cold huh? They smell so good..."

"Trust me it tastes as good as it smells" She says before digging into her portions with constrained glee

Not wanting to spoil such a fine meal, Ember takes a coy bite out of her meal after cutting a portion off. Which was more than enough to make her ravenously devour her meal, quietly grunting in delight. "Why are theesh sho good..."

"The result of chefs who have mastered their field, high quality ingredients and admittedly garlic and butter"

"Hey, garlic and butter are an utmost gift to civilization, of course garlic and butter." She said, pointing a fork holding some lobster on it at her before nomming down at it, smiling with glee as she chewed, "Man, I need to treat you after this to the places I'm talking about, it's only fair due to how good this is..."

2:04 AM

She swallows, "Oh speaking of, how old are you by the way? Same as me I reckon? Oh and when's your birthday?"

Ember

She swallows, "Oh speaking of, how old are you by the way? Same as me I reckon? Oh and when's your birthday?"

“Oh I am 17 years old much like everyone else here barring Miss Rose and as for the second question I was born the 12th of May, what about you?”

"January fourteen! So my birthday's still pretty far off." She chuckled, taking a few more mouthfuls of crustacean, "Ruby does surprise me though, how come she got in at that age? She'd practically fresh outta Signal! I actually graduated at just about the same time."

Ember

"January fourteen! So my birthday's still pretty far off." She chuckled, taking a few more mouthfuls of crustacean, "Ruby does surprise me though, how come she got in at that age? She'd practically fresh outta Signal! I actually graduated at just about the same time."

“I don’t know. Surely it must of been extenuating circumstances but I am not exactly close enough to her to know what they were. She is very skilled in combat but it does not seem extreme enough to be allowed in two years early”

Ember chewed as she mulled her words for a moment, damn fancy words, "I suppose I'll ask her about it if I ever get the chance to meet up and have a chat with her. Wonder what professor Ozpin was thinking getting someone as young as her in the same kind of shit we have to deal with."

“It must be a good reason I presume”

She shrugs, finishing off the lobster's body before picking up its claws to crack it with her bare hands, "The man is very..." She strains a moment before a loud crack was heard, "Enigmatic to say the least, always has reasons for this and that, what's weirder is if I remember correctly, she was made team leader of her team." She picks out the flesh from inside the claws, popping them into her mouth with a smile. "Bit of a monstrous task to give to someone like her."

“The way team leaders are chosen does baffle me. Miss Marten has been doing well but during initiation I would have assumed anyone else in your team would have been a more suitable team leader. I wonder what his criteria are”

She shrugs, "I think Joss is perfectly fine as is, he's clearly a very capable combatant, as for a leader though, he's chill and seem pretty fine but like, it's not like us other three members of JAGE are rebellious or anything." She picks up another claw to crack, "In fact, everyone's pretty chill in my Team so far so maybe that's why I'm not exactly seeing any flaw in his status as a leader as of now."

The nearby bush twitched at that, not that anybody noticed

3

“As of now I can see that he is doing fine but during initiation with only that to judge his character on would you chose him as your team leader?”

Ember shrugs, "I'm too lazy to lead, Azuli is mute which can lead to massive issues in the heat of combat, and Crimson is capable but ssssssssomewhat too naive." She honestly says, "Of us four, I'd have just given it to Joss not out of leadership skill, but because he's by far somewhat the best to throw that responsibility to. Though honestly, if Azuli can speak, I'd probably have given it to her in a heartbeat given how she's somewhat more competent than us in general."

7:19 AM

She picks up the claw meat to eat, "But everyone has their own pros and cons, admittedly."

A nearby waitress does not actually exist in the employee registry

4

“Fair point I suppose” She says as she finishes cracking a claw with practiced ease

She chews, "How about you? Who'd you pick?"

“For my team, as much as I would want to be team leader Miss Marten is handling it quite well as long as she is able to overcome her caffeine addiction. And frankly for Team JAGE I would nominate Azuli. They seem to be doing a fine job of communicating despite everything and they do seem to have the most experience”

Ember snorts, "Are you sure you'd like to have the role of having to lead your entire team? Especially with your relationship with Baja?"

Violet’s eyes widen in horror “Ah yes leading…her would be dreadful good point”

7:35 AM

"Now you know why I don't like leading." She fingerguns.

==============

3:30 PM

An extremely tired looking Iris, more tired looking than the not-Violet from the other day, sits at a cafe in Vale, clutching an XL latte with 4 extra shots of espresso

The Barista has the EMS ready on speed dial in case the huntress has a heart attack.

Violet walks in and orders a coffee and pastry before noticing her team leader "Hello Miss Marten, I notice that you look like yourself today"

She looks towards Violet blearily, taking a moment to register her presence "Hi Violet," she says, uncurling a hand from her drink in a little wave before taking a sip, not quite sure what to say

3:42 PM

"Have you slept recently? You look even more tired than before and your coffee seems rather large"

"I can't taste anything except caffeine anymore," she says, staring at her drink

Before their conversation can Progress. Gunshots, right across the street. Coming from the back of a Dust shop whose windows had been set to privacy mode.

3:53 PM

There is a loud crash, the sound of broken glass, and a muffled explosion as smoke rises from the shop.

Looking at Violet and nodding over, she downs the rest of the drink in one gulp before standing up to dash over, weapon in hand

Violet follows in hot pursuit

4:00 PM

Violet arrives at the scene of the incident and all she can see is the blood "What's happened here?" (edited)

Something twitches underneath Iris's beret, and she turns to see a scorpion tail whip around the corner "See if you can find out what happened, I just saw a scorpion faunus run that way," she says, taking out her scroll to let the rest of their team and the teachers know what's going on

She gives chase, surprised at the speed of the assailant but never losing track She stops as he dives into a storm drain though. He's fast and he can clearly fight, following him underground would be suicide

He was bleeding heavily from his chest and one of his arms was clearly disabled from what she could garner while following him.

Port got him good gigachad

Meanwhile back at the crime scene Violet is looking around when she see's Professor Port, unconscious and with a large gash in his gut "Oh goodness Professor Port" She rushes over and pulls out her emergency first aid kit and stabilises the wound before thinking 'Wait this person could take down a professor and Miss Marten is chasing them alone' She quickly pulls out her scroll before messaging Iris "This assailant took down Professor Port, do not engage by yourself" (edited)

White Fang Vale Branch EYES

Sadly, she was in no state to look at her Scroll.

Violet is making sure she has all of her railgun magazines, her first aid kit is full after it was used in Vale and generally checking that she has everything she needs

Azuli was sat quietly in the meantime, idly existing

The weapon nerd was already on a third rechecking of her gear. This time, she's a lot more confident about surprise Apathies. (edited)

Crimson hummed as he checked through his supply pack: First Aid Kit, Check! Rations and Trailmix, Check! Standard sized Gravity and Lightning crystals, Check! Magazines for Grimseeker's pilebunker mode, Check! Flash light and firestarters, Check! And more general camping supplies, Check!

8:07 AM

Weapon, check. Crystals, check. Water, check. Instant coffee, check. Coffee crisps, check

Damn, did nobody double check their supplies before leaving their dorms today?

Crimson hummed as he checked through his supply pack: First Aid Kit, Check! Rations and Trailmix, Check! Standard sized Gravity and Lightning crystals, Check! Magazines for Grimseeker's pilebunker mode, Check! Flash light and firestarters, Check! And more general camping supplies, Check!

Crimson nods with a cheerful lil smile on his face

金牛

Weapon, check. Crystals, check. Water, check. Instant coffee, check. Coffee crisps, check

Now that she's sure her weapon has everything it needs all set, a spare couple of mags and crystals, for the fourth time, now she takes a second look on her stuff. Water, First aid kit, flashlight, pretty much the same supplies she saw Crimson carrying. With just a bit more sweets than necessary in the form of candy bars and granola bars, and a can of soda.

“Miss Marten have you not considered decaf? You seem more tired with each passing day”

8:14 AM

Violet is now certain that she has everything she needs: camping supplies, flashlight, water and water purifier, portable stove and a pot with some rations along with other essentials “Hmmm I think I have everything is everyone else ready?”

"Decaf doesn't do anything"

8:14 AM

"Think I'm all set over here too"

"I think we gotta just assume Baja is ready, she's doing that autopilot thing again"

Curious at that bit, Crimson looks towards Baja Ah She's doing that 'fast travelling' meditation trick "Huh"

"I'm good." The shortstack calls out, wearing her backpack of supplies.

Shinigami/Azuli Lapipielle

Damn, did nobody double check their supplies before leaving their dorms today?

Double checking is for nerds

"Decaf doesn't do anything"

“Perhaps but it looks as if you haven’t slept in a while”

Ember briefly considers whether or not she should tell the copycat not to drink more coffee Or to make things worse. She decides making things worse would be funnier.

8:21 AM

"You should try energy drinks!"

8:21 AM

"The extra sugary ones give a lot more punch than just caffeine."

Violet rests her face in her hands “Please do not encourage her”

"I can't taste anything but even I can tell those taste like shit"

Violet/Garter

Violet rests her face in her hands “Please do not encourage her”

"But it's funny!"

8:22 AM

"Not like she can do much without caffeine right now too."

8:22 AM

“But she has been looking like this for days and being tired in a combat situation is a disadvantage, such as what happened in Vale”

She blinks.

8:26 AM

"Is that the one you talked to me about?"

Ember

"Is that the one you talked to me about?"

“No im referring to the last time I saw Miss Marten in Vale”

Their Scrolls buzzed in unison, calling Team MRVS and JAGE to the teachers lounge. It seems their turn had come for missions.

Violet/Garter

“But she has been looking like this for days and being tired in a combat situation is a disadvantage, such as what happened in Vale”

Crimson gives Iris a worried look at that as he gets started towards the teachers lounge

Well, here was to hoping that everything wasn't going to go terribly. Probably.

"Hoh. Concerning, but we gotta worry about that later."

Their Scrolls buzzed in unison, calling Team MRVS and JAGE to the teachers lounge. It seems their turn had come for missions.

“Ok everyone let’s go” Violet begins to walk there

"Girl you gotta take better care of yourself, the Grimm aren't gonna let a single thing go of given the chance"

8:29 AM

Ember follows suit.

On the way, Team RWBY bursts out of their Dorm room.

8:29 AM

"Oh Hey! You guys are also going for your missions right?" Yang, ever the Exubriant extrovert. called out. (edited)

"Oh hey! Yall got called in too?" Crimson replies with a cheerful wave, his other hand carrying his pack of supplies (edited)

"Oh Hey! You guys are also going for your missions right?" Yang, ever the Exubriant extrovert. called out. (edited)

"Yep! Here's hoping we get something fun!"

"Any idea where you guys are going?"

A brief flicker passes over Violet’s face before settling in her normal polite smile “Yes we have, I look forward to the experience”

"Well, we would love to stay and chat, however, i feel being late to our first official mission would not go over well. Care to chat after we come back from our missions?"

8:32 AM

Weiss diplomatically calls out even as she very undiplomatically starts pushing her entire team.

8:32 AM

Ruby's backpack barks.

"Sure!" The shortstack raises two thumbs up, "Been wanting to check out you guys' weap-"

"As long as I get to pet it, sure."

the brief terror has passed

11:31 PM

11:31 PM

An orange-haired but silver-eyed Ember stands in the Beacon machine shop, a disassembled Vollmyrtenaster in front of her She copied the muscle memory and instincts for how to use the machines, but knowing what to actually do with the weapon now at this stage she low-key forgot (edited)

The real blue-eyed Ember makes her way into the forge, currently too busy staring at her scroll to realize that she was heading for the same chair the doppelganger was sitting on, ending up bumping against her. "Ah- Sorry-" She looked up and... Blinks. Staring at the perfect copy of her. Did she... Bump into a mirror? Wait why is it in a non-inverted state...

"Oh shit what?" the other Ember says, turning around to face the perfect copy of her with a blink. "Oh, sorry partner, I think I accidentally took your spot. We still cool?"

5:00 PM

5:02 PM

"Wait what the fuck-" She squints, eyes glowing orange for a moment before the biggest smile crawls up her face, "Ain't no way... Iris?" She asked, circling around the doppelganger, "This is so cool..."

5:03 PM

"Wait- Do I really sound like that?"

5:03 PM

The other Ember scratches her cheek. "Yeah it's- Hey wait, sound like what? There something wrong with my voice?" she asks, squinting at herself

"No no, I just- Uuuuuuugh I don't like how I sound, I sound like a broken record..."

5:07 PM

5:08 PM

She gives her another look over as she circles back around the impostor once more, rubbing her chin in thought.

5:08 PM

"Damn, at least I have an ass..."

5:08 PM

5:09 PM

Her eyes then stray to the glint of the metal of the disassembled Vollmyrtenaster, "Oh hey is that your weapon?"

"I can't tell if that was a sneak diss or not but hey I'll take it"

5:12 PM

"Oh nah that was a compliment chief, never did get a proper view of my ass like this."

5:13 PM

Ember

Her eyes then stray to the glint of the metal of the disassembled Vollmyrtenaster, "Oh hey is that your weapon?"

"Yeah that's mine, been trying to mod this thing for higher capacity, or at least a larger number of chambers for more dust types"

"Trouble is the dust infusion system needs to be a ton more efficient to work with the bigger number of smaller independent circuits"

"And you're using my skills to figure it out huh, clever!" She chuckles, looking at the disassembled weapon as she heard her out, picking up the revolving chamber of the weapon to give it a closer look, eyes glowing orange once more in a moment as she 'reads' the weapon as a whole. "Hm... If that's your issue... Ah there it is."

5:19 PM

She squints, placing the chamber back on the table as the whole weapon began to glow. "This thing is... Unoptimized."

5:20 PM

"It's like something I'd make if I wanted to reverse engineer Weiss' sword just from staring at it."

She scratches her head. "... Yeah. Who... Did you make this yourself or did someone make it for you?" She asks, eyes finally fading, looking at her with a confused look. (edited)

"Well shit, I just got it from some pawn shop. Looked real fancy, and at that price it was a steal," she replies with a wink at the camera, a pair of fox ears only the viewers can see twitching (edited)

Ember snorts, chuckling as she looked back at the sword, "Well, someone out there didn't pay enough attention in class." She picks up the handle to inspect. "So you said you wanted a bigger capacity right? And got caught up with an optimization issue on the infusion system?"

"Now hold on, I pay plenty attention when it matters. Uuuusually."

"And yep, that's it. Especially this circuit right here..." she points at part in the guard.

"I was referring to the person who made this, you know."

5:42 PM

5:44 PM

She turns to look at the pointed part, eyes glowing once more as she picked it up and observed it. "Hm yeah... Got a lotta room here. Say, how big do you want that capacity to be?" She asked, putting the guard down while picking up the revolving cylinder, "Because the thing about revolvers is-" She smirks, "Nobody said there's a limit to how big they can be."

Ember

"I was referring to the person who made this, you know."

She shrugs. "I kinda just assumed that was poking at not having a custom-built weapon."

She asked, putting the guard down while picking up the revolving cylinder, "Because the thing about revolvers is-" She smirks, "Nobody said there's a limit to how big they can be."

5:51 PM

"I was kinda thinking about putting in as many tiny crystals as this cylinder can possibly fit"

She shrugs. "I kinda just assumed that was poking at not having a custom-built weapon."

The shrug was mirrored, "Hey, I don't judge, weapons aren't every Huntsmen's thing."

金牛

"I was kinda thinking about putting in as many tiny crystals as this cylinder can possibly fit"

The spreading grin is matched "Am I thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Ever heard of the twenty shot pinfire revolver that was made back then?"

5:54 PM

"That shit the second best engineer in Atlas made before he died right? Actually peak"

5:59 PM

"Yep. You get working on that revolving chamber, I'll tweak the Dust Infusion system, I know you excel at Dust Casting and now I'm really curious what you can do with a twenty crystal capactiy."

6:02 PM

6:05 PM

She shakes herself out of the trance before an almost manic grin spreads across her face

6:05 PM

"Ayt"

6:05 PM

"WE DO THIS"

6:05 PM

Azuli walked by, pausing at what she saw.

6:12 PM

A usual morning in the Beacon cafeteria, slightly louder due to the influx of students from the other academies arguing and joking among each other.

(edited)

"Cafeteria sure is lively today huh" Crimson's tail idly waved as he looked the crowded dining hall, eyes shining

7:53 AM

“Certainly more busy than normal” Violet says as she peaks up from her meal to the chatter going on

-# "Look im just saying-"

-# "THIS MEANS WAR! REN! TO THE CASTLE!"

8:01 AM

Two tables over, a scuffle breaks out between team JNPR and RWBY. (edited)

“What on Remnant?”

# " FOOD FIGHT!"

“Is this normal to happen in schools?” Violet asks perplexed

Jojo shrugged "Public schools mostly"

"Mostly public schools yeah." Ember says, casually finishing up her large BORGAR before making her way to the pastries to find a weapon.

Crimson sips at his juicebox, long used to the occaisonal bar room brawl

Several students go flying out of windows and walls as the Brawling picks up pace.

"you kids have fun. I'll watch the door to warn y'all when the teachers come" Jojo stands up and walks away to the door and leans besides it

Iris downs the rest of her drink then goes stealth mode, searching for abandoned coffees and teas at other tables (edited)

-# “She has a problem”

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"you kids have fun. I'll watch the door to warn y'all when the teachers come" Jojo stands up and walks away to the door and leans besides it

He gets smacked by a flying watermelon.

Ember finds a comically large croissant and grabs one end and the middle, twisting the end like a cap before pulling out a blade formed from the chocolatey goodness inside.

8:15 AM

She's trying her hardest not to eat her weapon right now.

He gets smacked by a flying watermelon.

Jojo cleans his face and doesn't react. He truly is the piccolo of the team even tho he canonically have Goku voice

An entire fruit bowl this time.

Crimson eyes the remains of one of the biggest damn fish he's ever seen

8:17 AM

Azuli somehow managed to find some super massive ribs.

She takes one quick bite of the giant croissant before grabbing it alongside the chocoblade, resheating the 'weapon' in there as she turns to see who's getting hit.

Violet finds somehow the largest tomahawk steak she has ever seen “This academy has every food on the planet I swear”

"So we getting in on this?" Crimson says with a slowly rising grin, tail slowly starting to wag as he grabs the half eaten marlin (edited)

"It's us-" She fails to hold herself back as she bites another hole into her 'sheathe', forming a proper handle on it, "Or them." She says as he chews.

Foremost Soak Hater

An entire fruit bowl this time.

An eye twitch He is across the hallway Someone is doing that intentionally

She took a bite from them, even as she discarded them after a moments thought. She vanished from sight, returning a moment later bearing two watermelons, armed within the tactical sheaths of two massive hotdog buns

“If this is what is done at public schools then I’m happy to indulge” Violet says with a tinge of excited glee in her voice

She puts a leg on a table and points her blade at everyone else but Team JAGE and Team MRVS, "GET THEY ASSES!"

you mean team AGE. The J ain't joining

Too bad.

The M is currently busy searching for survivors (amongst ruins of tipped over mugs)

Under the stealthiest of stealth... (edited)

Crimson locks eyes with a certain cat faunus with a peace sign

8:27 AM

Before attempting to promptly switch places with her

Monkey already at the side of the door https://tenor.com/view/lmk-lego-monkie-kid-sun-wukong-monkey-king-monkie-kid-gif-12868437852287128533

He then somehow got blindsided by an entire ass fruit bouquet

Expected. But atleast it's natural food. So he doesn't mind the smell

An array of banana peels is arranged in a minefield blocking off the exit

8:37 AM

"WHOS DOING ALL OF THIS?!" Did he made some enemies? He doesn't remember pissing anyone off

A pie hits him in the face like the clown he is

"who the hell ordered pie for breakfast?" (edited)

it smelled like bananas

Ooh that's a jug of apple juice, splashing all over his clothes and tail fur especially

mmm Potassium

"Okay. This is either bullying or racism. Can you people stop attacking me?"

8:43 AM

Joss tries to clean his fur

The density of the minefield has doubled

He aint going through that door. Just to the side of it

Across the Hall, Blake gets sent flying by Phyrra.

Joss snorted at that Deserved

He gets smacked by a Baguette.

9:37 AM

-# "Im sorry!"

jojo finally gets hit by a non fruit based food Unforgivable "You will be" Anger_overwhelming

9:42 AM

He grabbed two pineapple flying his way and then punch it with each arm. He is now equipped with a weapon

9:47 AM

He jump at the dragonfruit head and give barrage of hits

9:51 AM

"Oh? Are you sure you want to try that Jojo?" Pyrrha effortlessly avoided the incoming hits, smiling at her classmate all the while.

the last one hits her "Now that i think of it. No" "But I'm doing it anywayyyy" He does more barrage

She parries them away with her... sword.

9:54 AM

"Good effort! I see you've improved on your mission quite remarkably!"

He then sees her trying to kick him so he blocks it "I fought a leviathan woman. Don't patronise me"

"Oh heavens no!"

9:58 AM

She lands an uppercut on the recovery.

Jojo then got sent to that heaven

Aura physically shockwaves out from the blow as Joss is sent into the far wall at hypersonic velocity.

His aura visibly flickers out... before reigniting fully

Pyrrga parries a downward cleaver strike from Blake before sending her flying as well, before lighting up as her aura began to recover.

away from Jojo hopefully

10:03 AM

"wait. Did Nikos just called me Jojo?"

She enjoys his bluntness.

Jojo shivered -# "That gal is weird"

Meanwhile, Azuli took this as an opportunity to turn it into a team brawl, popping up and popping Nora up into the air, duel wielding watermelons (edited)

# "HEATHEN! FILTHY ASSASIN! YOU SHALL NOT DETHRONE THE QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!"

10:09 AM

The Melon hammer in her hands visibly begins crackling with pink lightning as she smacks it into Azuli.

10:17 AM

She promptly vanished before hitting the ground

She begins cackling maniacally moments before getting kicked in the head by Mercury with his feet through two baguettes. (edited)

Crimson whistles as he watches his partner dissappear

10:24 AM

Before the dog Faunus taps his feet to randomly switch with something in the hall Which lands him in front of Ruby Rose "Heya!" He grins and gives her a salute as he stabs forward with his Marlin

"Wait i dont have a weapon ye- OOF"

Jojo see his short team member fighting RWBY short team member "Heh. A small fight"

Foremost Soak Hater

"Wait i dont have a weapon ye- OOF"

Oh shit he didn't notice that- But he was already in the middle of another stab, the dog faunus moving on empty headed muscle memory "War, war never changes"

She glared.

10:31 AM

"This means WAR! WAR!"

Azuli approved of this jumping behavior

-# "YEAH!"

"I'll take the cookies too!" Crimson taunts with a grin

"WAR!"

The dog faunus cackles like a Hyeana Ah this takes him back, he's gotta find Ferdie after this and fight her again (edited)

And promptly uses Jaune as a substitute doll against the silver eyed warrior's croissant based reprise (edited)

10:46 AM

"What the he- Oh GOD RUBY NO-" Jaune gets combo'd by a bloodlusted Ruby... Hes relatively unharmed.

Crimson holds back a giggle His Semblance was fun "Thanks blondie!" The cheery Dog Faunus yips, tail starting to wag (edited)

As Yang 1 and Mercury begin to square off, HERE COMES IN YANG 2 WITH THE BREAD LOAF FISTS "Hey there handsome, haven't seen you around Beacon before," Yang 2 grins at Yang 1 after the assist, wiggling her eyebrows (edited)

Yang one stumbles for a moment before grinning back. "Oh you know, i yang around."

"Yo, nice one!" Yang 2 says approvingly at Yang 1's punch "How about I Xiao you around some time after we handle this" (edited)

10:51 AM

The two Yangs are driven by pure instinct, hands going in opposite directions- https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-dab-me-up-garp-aokiji-frame-gif-11803377855144251548 (edited)

Seeing the teenage catgirl ninja Faunus hop around, Ember lunged after her with a comically large croissant, grinning like a madwoman the entire time, then, within a split second, a burst of chocolate causes the blade to rocket, much like her katana, causing a swing that splatters an arc of cocoa goodness heading directly for the cat.

The cat smirks moments before being replaced by a substitute made of ketchup that splashes all over Ember.

11:11 AM

"I wont make it easy for you."

Ember squeaks, "My hair!"

11:12 AM

Then, with a growl, she turns and points the extra large croissant at her, "Alright, neither will I!" She exclaimed, squeezing the oddly well stuffed croissant in bursts, firing eight different bursts of chocolatey goodness at her, laughing like a madwoman the entire time. (edited)

Ember

Ember squeaks, "My hair!"

-# "Blake how could you!" A betrayed shout comes from one of the yangs.

Jojo looks at the fight He's rooting for Ember to harm the cat (edited)

The cat swipes the chocolate out of the air with her celery stick and loaf of bread.

"Grr... I'll get you still Ninja!" She shakes her fist at her.

Blake smirks before lashing out with a flurry of vegetable rage...

Ember does her best to parry the unending flurry of healthy food with her... Arguably healthy dessert, but alas, she was overpowered by the veggies...

Joss face goes deadpan at his partner defeat Too high of expectations

Her infinite chocolate croissant bursts open under the assault.

At least she falls, covered in her own desire.

11:26 AM

Violet saw her chance and a slight grin crept across her face as she exploded towards Weiss and swung at the other heiress, her inner screams driving her on "Seems only appropriate to join in on the fun"

Weiss returns a smile as the strike slows down upon passing a black glyph, the follow up strikes being parried aside.

11:28 AM

"Quite. Fundraiser galas are never this fun."

Violet's inner voices got silenced in that moment as she let loose a laugh "Couldn't agree more"

The door to the cafeteria slams open with a loud bang.

11:30 AM

"DETENTION!"

11:31 AM

Weiss goes ramrod still.

11:31 AM

"Crud."

There was a gurgling from the puddle of chocolate. It sounds like groaning.

Crimson pauses in the middle of eating a cookie he'd switched his marlin for His tail ramrod straight and frazzled (edited)

Jojo who still inside the crater above the ceiling pretend to be a hanging light

Violet freezes “Oh no”

One of the Yangs points at the prone Mercury. "He did it" (edited)

Crimson pauses in the middle of eating a cookie he'd switched his marlin for His tail ramrod straight and frazzled (edited)

There's a crunch as he bites into the cookie

"I should have guarded the door." Jojo grumbled

12:26 PM

In a classroom, currently being punished for their bad behavior were a myriad of students.

12:26 PM

Their overseer? A sleeping Professor Peach.

12:26 PM

Not really a punishment really.

Jojo Always wonder what she looks like. But whenever he tries to focus on her it's getting blurry so he just gave up

Crimson sprawled over his desk chair, an ear twitching occasionally as the faunus tried to find something to focus on

Jojo leans back on his chair "Soo. Crim. You wonder what happened to that Levi Hag?"

Crimsons ears droop for a moment before straightening up as his face turns to a frown "Sometimes, still feel my blood boiling whenever I think of what they did to her" He whispers to Jojo

Irir's coffee was confiscated in order to free the room of any items which may start a new food fight One eye slightly twitches

Crimsons ears droop for a moment before straightening up as his face turns to a frown "Sometimes, still feel my blood boiling whenever I think of what they did to her" He whispers to Jojo

"Pretty sure shell shove her sword up your bumhole if you try to pity her while she's Infront of you" (edited)

"Not pity" Crimson scowls "I just hate fact that there's bastards that'd do such atrocities to a huntsman" The faunus's fingers curls and unfurls as the thought makes him Furious "We already have Monsters out there, the fact there's some pop up behind our backs pisses me off something fierce" Crimson mutters to Jojo, trying to not make a scene as he gets angrier (edited)

Silver eyes focus on them.

12:43 PM

"What?"

12:43 PM

Ruby leans over in her seat.

"Don't mind us Red"

"What happened during your mission?"

"Oh wait. Baja is Red..uh..hood?"

"Weird question, but do you happen to have a wolf faunus in your family?"

Ruby blinks.

12:46 PM

"Not that i know of? Why?"

"Oh right. Her petal thing"

Ember yawned as she sat up from her desk, putting her Scroll away from drawing more schematics.

Foremost Soak Hater

"What happened during your mission?"

Crimson drums his fingers for a moment as he let's out a sigh, attempting to vent some of his anger "There was this abandoned lab, did experiments with Dust, Grimm and..." He looks back at her for a moment Silver eyes "...more disturbing stuff" He says, before looking at Jojo for help before he starts getting pissed again at the audacity (edited)

She turns to the group, "Fuck y'all talking about and is it cool?" She asks boredly and softly.

Yang leans in.

12:49 PM

"What kind of disturbing stuff?"

She blinks, processing her teammate's words, "Wait, her?"

Blake and Weiss also seem to be standing at attention, Team JNPR silently sliding closer.

Ember immediately sits upright.

"Try leviathan Grimm that turns into wolf faunus half grim hybrid"

"Wolf faunus grim hybrid who can disable all dust in an area or remotly detonate it"

"Wait wait wait! PAUSE! Start from the beginning." Jaune calls in.

"We may have run into a huntress with the same eye color and almost the same semblance as Ruby"

She clears her throat, pulling out her Scroll and swiping to the file she kept saved. "I can recall it from the top if y'all want." -# "I still have one of the files recovered."

"You need to walk us through this beginning to end, it sounds like you had a crazy mission."

"Can control dark goo too...yknow. the leviathan was probably the goo stuff."

"You need to walk us through this beginning to end, it sounds like you had a crazy mission."

"Well, I did almost die!"

"Now should I explain from the top?"

"stage is yours partner"

Crimson, was relying on his team and Marvelous to explain the mission better before he got angry to the point of biting something at recalling it

Needs To Be Studied

Crimson, was relying on his team and Marvelous to explain the mission better before he got angry to the point of biting something at recalling it

Jojo pats him on his shoulder to calm him down a bit

"Right so listen up folks cause it's about to get weird. It started normally, pretty much as you'd expect how the missions should go, we fuck off from Vale and then drop into the mission area."

12:55 PM

"And then it was downhill from there!"

12:55 PM

Team Rwby nods along while JNPR shrugs, having missed their own mission due to the breach.

12:56 PM

"Sounds about right." Weiss comments.

"Our mission was to investigate and destroy a facility that was known to be experimenting fusing Grimm and dust" (edited)

"Off the bat the mission itself was already kinda weird on its own, the goal was to destroy a facility that apparently, hybridized Grimm by fucking grafting Crystals on them- Yeah that."

-# " i was at the ship guarding it " (edited)

"That sounds very very illegal! How did they even manage to set up a facility like that without being hunted down?" Weiss once again questions. (edited)

Ember shushes her.

"I would like to know as well." PyrrhaOh

-# "Keep it down, this is like, kinda top secret!"

-# "Okay okay!"

"That sounds very very illegal! How did they even manage to set up a facility like that without being hunted down?" Weiss once again questions. (edited)

"Right where was I, so basically like, that's fucking weird and all but that's the only thing we knew from the debriefing. So we look at the facility and it's already really fucking creepy, it looked like Grimm were trying to get in judging by the claw marks." (edited)

Ren furrows his brows. "That is not normal grimm behavior. They wouldn't care about some random factory unless there was a massive source of negativity."

She snaps her fingers lightly at him, "Exactly."

"But spoilers so we'll get there in a bit."

He almost passes out from the exertion.

Next time...

"I saw spores in the air too I think, thankfully Professor Adelaide had some facemasks for us. Oh also like, on the PR system it kept repeating that there was a self destruct system about to go off on loop."

1:04 PM

"Had me anxious majority of the time because I had no idea if it had went off or will go off while we're in there."

"Thats straight out of some action flick." Yang joked.

She snorts, "Tell me about it." "Then we got in properly and there was a fork in there, one to the left where it had the server room and one to the right where it had containment units, we decided to go to the server room first so we can grab more info." (edited)

Jojo nods along. Pretending to act that he was there too

"A good plan." WeissContemplate

1:09 PM

"Hopefully they were functional enough to gather info?"

Ember nods, fiddling with her Scroll some more, "I thought they'd have been all fried or flat out destroyed, but we lucked out and found one running on emergency juice." "Azzy over here was apparently a hacker wizard and managed to extract us a pair of files before it died properly." She says, showing her Scroll to the group with the file opened.

Jojo blinked "Did we gave a copy to professor ozpin yet?" (edited)

"It should be said that the contents are not pleasant so I advise you prepare yourself before watching" (edited)

The Group watched with morbit curiosity as the videos played, grim lines etched on their faces. Ruby looked on in horror.

"Thats horrible."

"It gets worse."

"Oh no."

1:15 PM

Nora, uncharacteristically of her. Has been silent this whole time.

Ember pulls her Scroll back and pockets it after seeing everyone's had their fill. "Now after that, the terminal was fully bricked, so we had to keep going, and the only way to continue was in Containment, so sufficed to say I was ready to fucking die that moment. We were taught about Grimm of different kinds, just... Not Dust Hybridized ones."

"Surprisingly though, we just ended up pulling up to a little dinsinfection room thingy with clean hazmat suits for us, which we got on because I sure as hell don't want to turn into a mushroom zombie or anything."

She points a thumb at Violet, "Seared off my suit off the bat and woulda cooked me if I wasn't able to parry some of the blast away to weaken it a bit on my end."

Ember pats the poor doggo's back.

"Feh, cucciolo impaurito, you're no fun." She turns back to Ruby "Your eyes are special, learn to use them to lead the weak onward. You'll know how when your friends are in danger, and it'll happen soon. Those eyes make you some dangerous enemies" (edited)

On her knees with her hands and weapon in lap, Ember meditated, reflecting on her recent training so far as she rested from the conclusion of one just a few moments earlier. She's improved. Quite a lot, admittedly. Every practiced slash was like a simple stroke of a pen on paper, every single parry, a beautifully executed word, all flowing like water from a river as she writes a destructive sentence. It feels like she's encroaching the edge of true skill, from how simple everything seemed to be now, where only her own body is the bottleneck that holds back her prowess. So she must train still.

9:36 AM

And what better way than with friends eh? She opens her eyes, standing up from a ring of bullet holes, making her way to her scroll by a bench in the resting area, wondering who should she spar with as she picked it up. Shall she call one of her teammates? They've never really had a proper spar had they? Though it'd be kind of unfair to fight Crimson and Azuli who are both teleporters, and then there's her partner who she literally made gauntlets worth more than a damn for parrying. ... Maybe when she gets just a bit more faster she'll take them on. Then, the image of Gilded Ambition flies in her mind and she immediately knew who to chat. A Sandwich: Hey Vi, you up for a spar? She sent, then wondering about the entirety of Team MRVS, she adds:

A Sandwich: And can you maybe ask Iris to pull up? I've never seen her use her sword like a sword before so I'm wondering how she'd fare.

Violet Glade, GLC: I am free to spar with you, I’ll ask Miss Marten if she wants to join as well

A Sandwich: Gucci, I'm already at the combat room resting so y'all take your time

Violet looks up from her study materials and turns to Iris “Ember just invited me to a spar and asked if you wanted to join. Are you interested?”

She stops writing and considers it "I guess the Vytal festival is coming up soon and I haven't done much in combat class, so making up for some of that here sounds good"

Violet stands up and brushes herself off “Come on then let’s not keep her waiting”

She nods and follows after

Not too long later they arrive at the sparring grounds in their combat kit and with their weapons “Hello Ember how are you doing?”

Ember was kneeling in the middle of the combat area, a ring of bullet holes around her with her weapon in her lap. She perks up, seemingly, jolted out of her musings, "Oh! Hey there! Looks like you two are up for some fun huh?" She asks them, slowly standing up from the ground.

“It has been a while since I used the axe aspect of Gilded Ambition instead of the railgun, it will be good for me to get some practice before Vytal”

"I have a couple new tricks to try out myself"

She chuckles, "Well I don't mind getting shot by it, I want to see how well I can parry it myself given how these uh, lower calibers just aren't really all that fast to me anymore."

10:05 AM

"So how do y'all wanna do this? We do one-v-ones first or what?"

"How about a free for all? We should get ready for getting attacked by multiple people in the first team stage"

She shrugs, "I'm up for anything, how about you Vi?"

“I am fine with that”

"Sweet! How far are we starting off from each other then?"

“How about 50 feet?”

She shrugs, "Sounds good to me, Iris?"

"Ya that sounds good to me too" (edited)

Once they take their places, Ember locks her weapon onto her belt, turning to face the two.

10:18 AM

"Ready folks?"

“Ready”

"Ready"

"On three."

10:21 AM

# "THREE!"

Violet's body shimmered with purple and gold light before she burst forward towards Iris swinging her axe a ridiculous amount of times

Iris does a very poor job of attempting to block, weapon activating a few times as a hardlight shield pops into existence before being promptly shattered by Violet's Axe

... and then after the latest flash of light from a shattered shield, Weiss is standing there facing Violet instead WeissSneer

(edited)

The revolving chamber of Volmyrtenaster rotates once as she steps back and raises it upwards, before arcs of lightning radiate from the tip towards both Violet and Ember

Quick on the draw, Ember fires Fujin, causing Raijin to erupt out of its scabbard sheathed in flames as it made an arcing swing that captured the electricity and scratched the ground, flowing into a cut that ate the second stream before it was abruptly stopped as Ember stabbed her blade into the ground to dissipate the electricity, causing a lichtenberg pattern to burst out from where it struck. (edited)

Seeing Weiss this close set something off in her brain as the cries rung out again, she caught both bolts in her axe before releasing them into the floor with an almighty booming sound, leaving a crater still glowing with heat (edited)

The lights in the room flicker, sparks bursting out of a few before the rest return to normal

12:10 PM

Not the girls threeway show JoJo's expecting. But he'll take it

With each flicker, Ember drew closer towards the two, a massive grin on her face with a hand on her blade's hilt, currently already sheathed.

Fortunately, the screen showing Iris's aura level at 52% is still working (edited)

When the lights finally stopped flickering, Raijin was already slashing upwards towards Violet, a gleeful grin on its owner's face.

Violet tries to parry this sudden burst of an attack but the sheer speed means it hits her

The first attack flows into a second, then a third, and then suddenly the blade retreats into its scabbard before firing out once more in a downwards slash, a blur the entire time. (edited)

Then, it flows into a rising slash with a step and a pivot of Ember's body, heading towards Iris.

Violet tries to parry the incomming attacks but they end up too fast for her to catch all of them

The one aimed at Iris is deflected from its course by way of the still sparking rapier guiding its way inward (edited)

Another cut follows through, slower this time compared to the usual.

1:06 PM

Before Ember suddenly sheathe her blade, a toothy, almost manic grin on her face.

1:07 PM

"Show me a good time ladies!"

1:07 PM

Violet's rage seems to bubble over, arcs of purple and gold energy coating her skin as her strength seems to hit the peak that a human body could handle

There is a sudden tinge of realization that has struck Ember at the sight of Violet's Semblance coming into seemingly full swing.

1:23 PM

"You just had to be Schnee huh?" (edited)

Violet seems to have become a blurr of steel and lightning as she swings repeatedly at what now looks like Weiss

Lightning is directed in the opposite direction of the oncoming axe, barely deflecting the blows as each hit forces its way through the magnetic field harder until they score a hit on Iris's aura "Right, they must be good friends after all the such and such galas they've attended together, I presume? Violet, for the record, this isn't meant to be the trite 'you wouldn't hit your friend, would you?' cliche, or any trick like that" (edited)

1:34 PM

"I... get the feeling that was the wrong thing to say" (edited)

Violet doesnt say a word as the onslaught continues

"Okay fine, not her" (edited)

The weapon clatters to the ground as a silver-eyed Yang jumps past the last shield with a punch at Violet's face (edited)

Ember's flow and focus suddenly wavered at the sight of Yang mid-air. No she wasn't staring at her assets, shut up.

Ember quickly shakes her head before narrowing her eyes at the two and grinning again, "Come on, it can't just be you two!"

Violet’s mind seems to exit her rage filled state but the power remains as she parries the punches. One slips through and almost sends her flying but she grounds herself with Gilded Ambition (edited)

Ember resumes attacking Iris, only to be parried each time with Yang's form.

2:38 PM

"Hey wait a fucking minute, I have a gun." She pulls out her scabbard from her belt and begans magdumping the brawler.

Not much later as all three are reduced to singular attacks away from victory after Violet sends a flurry of blows towards Ember, the three are sent into detention once again when the effects on the power grid did not go unnoticed (edited)

11:47 AM

"Weiss" sits in team MRVS's room, smugly putting away another math assignment marked with an A+ as she organizes her notes for the next weekly assignment

Violet walks into the room before seeing 'Weiss' and freezing. A wheel almost appears in her eye before she supresses it as quickly as she can and forces out "Miss Marten is that you?"

She freezes with her pen halfway down the page, slowly turning around WeissDistraught

"Uh... please don't tell Ozpin?"

"I-I won't, do you mind if you chose a different form to mimic while I'm here?" She forces out

"Alright, I can do that," she responds, noting to take another trip to the staff room to find out who's doing the second best in class after Weiss "... may I ask what's going on between you and Weiss specifically though? You reacted quite badly during our spar, I remember"

"I um... I suppose I should tell you. However if I hear that you tell anyone about this I will ruin you." She says in a foreboding voice before slumping her shoulders and continuing "Is there anything in your life that you have dedicated yourself to completely and utterly? Something that has consumed you for as long as you can remember?"

Yes "I don't believe so, no. I do truly appreciate the opportunity Beacon has given me, but coming here was sort of a spur of the moment thing, and not a longtime ambition"

12:12 PM

"Did Weiss accidentally insult your goals somehow?"

"Not quite, in fact her personality has nothing to do with it. My family business is a logistics company which means that we rely on other businesses for profit, and dealing with the SDC is why we are so successful. However we must continue dealing with them, and to make sure that we keep their patronage my parents do their best to ensure that we keep favour with them by laughing at their jokes, doing favours for them and other things. We Glades are prideful people and so doing this burned us, but when we heard about Weiss Schnee's ambitions to be a huntress we finally found something that we could be better at, something that I would be better at. That is my ambition, to be the better huntress than Weiss Schnee, and I have spent most of my life working towards it"

"I... see," Iris says, taking a moment to digest Violet's response. "I can say I understand hating the SDC but I can't say I relate to those particular reasons," she says, taking a moment to school her expression, before continuing, "but thank you for telling me this."

"I suppose it is good to tell someone else about it, I must say that I am not...that well put together when I am facing her directly"

"If you were to fight her as you are now..." "Would you lose?"

"I-I don't know. I have improved leaps and bounds since I have arrived at Beacon and now have my semblance but... the Schnee semblance alone would mean that I stand little chance"

"I wish you good luck against her at the Vytal festival," she says neutrally

"Thank you, however if I were to face her I would likely be with the rest of team MRVS"

On the roof of the dorms did Crimson sat, Under light of shattered moon did the faunus open the album with a sigh “Hey Ma, Pa” The words were softly whispered as the faunus’ gaze drifted over its contents: A woman with a mischievous, vulpine grin, blue eyes and brilliant red hair. The fluff of a brush-like tail poking out from behind her A man with green eyes and a stern countenance softened by the fond, exasperated smile on his face, his wolf-like ears being toyed with by the last person in The photo A young girl with green eyes, red hair, the pointed ears of the man whose shoulders she was riding with a tail that blurred in the photo, cheerful grin in full display as she brandished a stick towards the sky Crimson Gerhart’s chest ached at the sight of better times, of the parents she so dearly missed. Of the father she tries so hard to emulate, whose spear she uses to slay Grimm as he once did. Strong, Resolute, Unyielding in the face of danger Here in Beacon, she can relax more. Here in Beacon, so far from the frontier where grief and rage and the gnawing in one's chest would give the grimm a scent to hunt down- It was safer to let it all out here, less chance of someone dying because she felt bad. Blood, Rot, the stench of a town slaughtered in the dead of winter (edited)

“I'm… I'm in Beacon now, Vale’s right nearby and it's so, so different” She said softly “But it's good! Well, most of it” The faunus scratches her head “Racism is a thing, apparently” now with a frown “It's weird, we all bleed red against the grimm but there's people thinking we're different and that's bad?” now her ears droop before she shakes her head “There's a lot of food here though! Like, a lot, different kinds too!” -# ~~Enough to last through winter~~ “Pineapples are weird, apparently they bite you back?” “They're delicious though!” “I got into cooking, can make sone pretty good sandwiches now!” “Oh oh and my team's great! Azuli- My Partner- is all cool and mysterious and uses hand signs to speak, think you'd like her dad, she gets sassy” “Jojo's my team leader, He's chill but also a bit of a little shit- I think you would've liked him mom, he's funny. I wonder if you knew people from the white fang too dad?” “Last but not least is Ember! She's a passionate Gal, likes weapons a looooot- on a totally unrelated note I wonder if you'd be fine with Grimseeker getting a bit of a tune up dad, she's doing great but there's so much new stuff out here….” On and on the faunus rambled, getting her mind off the events of the day and the atrocities committed by Merloc as the weight in her chest grew less and less Eventually, when she has nothing more to say- Crim sighs, leaning against the wall, staring up at the broken moon above She felt better now, but… “I still wish you two were here with me” She mutters softly into the chill night air, before closing the album with a yawn. -# ”God I hope my team won't think I'm weird for this” Yknow, if they somehow knew about it.

7:56 PM

Azuli stood atop of Beacon, proud in her mighty accomplishment. It had taken quite a bit of time and effort, but she’d finally managed to put a ‘Hiding Outpost’ in every part of Beacon. She had to admit, of all the bushes she’d planted, the one in the staff longue was by far the hardest to make happen. Some jackass had kept trying to water the bush with ‘Coffee’ of all things, and it had somehow managed to melt through half the branches. Still, even that had proven no match for her almighty persistence, and now, none could avoid Azuli’s sight!

7:57 PM

7:58 PM

The surviving bush in the staff room is lifted into the air by an invisible force, revealing no roots underneath- for you see, the latest one was replaced by a plastic bush! "Glynda Goodwitch" retrieves a thermos that was stored underneath, where Ozpin's coffee was funneled into by the reservoir beneath the fake plant 'No Violet, I don't have a problem. Not at all.'

Whenever a storm is coming, animals will always know before humans do; before modern equipment was available, sailors would keep a cat aboard their ships and watch for them to react to changes in weather first. Whether Faunus shared this prescience was hotly debated, and one Iris Marten would quickly tell you it was a racist idea. Still, she reacted a split second before anyone else in the room when one enraged Nora Valkyrie stormed in, lightning crackling around her. Magnhild smashed down with a thunderous blow, obliterating the chair Iris had been sitting in just moments earlier. The other Beacon students spun around just in time to see the human hurricane in full force. Nora glared at the other girl as she extricated Magnhild from the newly made pile of firewood. “Nora wha-” Iris gets out, before Nora cuts her off. “THIEF! SCOUNDREL! VILLAIN!” Nora calls out, straightening to level an accusing finger at the target of her ire. “To think, you would even steal from an orphan? UNFORGIVABLE!” Iris blinked. She tried to suppress her panic, but Nora caught the flicker. Her eyes narrowed, as she seemingly got the proof she needed. ’Since when were any of the Schnees orphans,’ Iris thought, whilst saying out loud, “Nora I literally don’t know what you’re talking about, can we please back up a bit?” A few other voices in the room piped up in agreement as defensive stances were dropped, before being silenced as Nora began speaking again. “You can’t fool me with that, you lying liarperson. I watched the security footage. All of it!” “That’s not possible, I got all the bot- I mean-” “You even stole one of team RWBY’s weapons for your heist, you shameless thief!” “Okay, wait, technically Weiss never actually owned it,” Iris manages to get out, a little defensive about the stolen dustcasting rapier she’d gotten attached to. Nearby students muttered among themselves in response to that, but Nora’s rant quickly drowned them out. “No more lies, thou with the semblance of a liar! The proof is in the PANCAKES! andalsosheandrubywillshareeverythingwhenthey’remarriedanyway” Nora says as she thrusted her scroll into Iris’s face, a video loaded. A video depicting what was decidedly not an SDC warehouse. Iris’s panic gradually subsided as confusion replaced it. “Nora.” “Yes, thief?” “This is a video of Ruby taking some pancakes from a fridge.” “MY pancakes. Your semblance isn’t secret anymore, copycat! You framed Ruby, but I spy the eyes that give you away…” Nora says as she taps at Ruby’s silver eyes in the video’s last frame. “Nora, she has the same eye colour as me normally anyway,” Iris responds, deadpan. “Which made her the perfect scapegoat! Shame on you for using your semblance in the most despicable way, and shame on you for thinking you could get one over detective Nora!” Iris takes a deep breath. “Nora, I have made a point of not doing that this entire time you’ve all known me, can I please get a little bit of credit for that?” she says, having it in her to be indignant despite the active danger posed by an angry Nora. “Plus, I don’t even like pancakes!” Just then, she notices a change in the atmosphere, and not figuratively. This time, the human students felt it too. The room fell silent as all its occupants smelt the ozone in the air, the only sound left being a quiet crackling starting up again. “Oh- oh, that was the wrong thing to say, wasn’t it?” “You get a ten second head start. Ten, nine, ONE!” … (edited)

3:48 AM

And so began the incident-of-the-week at Beacon Academy. Heads peeked out from dorms, curious about the crashing and screaming. Most quickly slammed their doors shut—better not to get caught in the storm of a rampaging Nora. This had the side effect of cutting off escape routes for the target of that hammer, one cat-eared Faunus who decidedly did not have the athleticism to keep away for much longer. This was becoming increasingly clear to Iris, who shrieked as the lightning-charged weapon passed by close enough to make her hair stand on end underneath her hat. She reached up to hold it down with a hand as the hammer destroyed a nearby row of lockers behind her, a gust of air in its wake blowing into her. Her heart pounded as she ran for dear life. Well, she wasn’t fast enough to outrun Nora. But she knew someone who was. Obscured by the glow of her aura, her features rippled as they became those of a certain someone else, hair darkening while keeping some of its original reddish colour as highlights. Her outfit morphed itself to match, her jacket billowing outwards as it became a recognizable red cloak as the shirt underneath lengthened into a black dress and her pants shrunk and softened to a matching pair of tights. Her eyes, as always, remained the same—and identical to those of the person whose form she assumed regardless. ‘Ruby Rose’ took off at a much greater speed, leaving behind a trail of petals and a Nora crying out, “I KNEW IT!” She just had to round the next corner, and it would be easy to lose Nora from there. Just a few meters and she would be home free. Finally safe- (edited)

3:48 AM

And then one cloud of petals collides directly with another, sprinkling into the air before coalescing into two Rubys slumped on the ground rubbing their own heads in pain… and a pantry’s worth of pancakes that reforms above them before falling all over them in a syrupy mess. Nora skidded to a stop, gripping Magnhild upside down. She let the hammer’s head drop to the floor with an attention-grabbing clang. A few students peeked out from the nearby rooms to bear witness, now that they were no longer in the path of destruction. The Rubys flinched and grabbed onto each other for dear life, shaking in fright as the judge and her gavel arrived to pass judgement. “So, the TRUE thief reveals herself! Sorry for the trouble Iris~you’re off the hook,” says Nora, transitioning from rage to cheeriness with unnatural quickness, before her expression returns to the previous and she levels a glare at them. “Now… which of you two is the REAL Ruby?” “Oh, she’s the real Ruby,” said one Ruby, pointing at the other. “Get her!” “WHAT? No, I’m not the real one! She is!” The two Rubys turned on each other in an instant, each pointing accusing fingers. Nora crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. “Trust me, I’m the fake one.” “No, I’M the fake one.” One of the spectators scratched their head confusedly. “Hey isn’t this like… the opposite of how this trope is supposed to go? Normally it’s supposed to be the original and the shapeshifter calling each other the imposter,” the student whispers. Another smirked. “Same solution, though. Just hit both of them.” “Ah, a fair, reasonable, and excellent proposal,” Nora responds, nodding sagely. “The hammer of justice must be fair!” “Okay, no, this is stupid,” one of the Rubys says as she gets up, brushing off her skirt with a hand. “There’s no reason for me to stay in Ruby’s form when that’s the loss condition here. I’ll just undo my semblance while you do your thing. Brothers above Nora, there’s a reason that scenario doesn’t usually go like this in shows,” she continues on with a very un-Ruby-like haughtiness and accompanying eyeroll, before starting to walk off. “Now please,” she says, as she passes by. “Ohhhhh right. My bad again, Iris! Now you…” Nora responds, swiveling to face the other Ruby, staring slack-jawed at the first. “Y-y-y… what… how did…” that Ruby stutters out in absolute shock as her accusing finger slowly falters and begins to lower, not even noticing when Nora raises her hammer. “The judge pronounces you… GUILTY!!!” Two things happened at once. Magnhild made contact with the flabbergasted Ruby, having still been frozen in disbelief staring at the spot the previous Ruby was standing, and the victim’s aura flared with a golden colour that was distinctly not Ruby’s red before she was sent straight through the floor and into a stack of chairs in the classroom below. At the same time, the previous Ruby started running again, as fast as she could, with an "I'm sorry Iris!" as she went. “Ruby why,” groaned Iris, form flickering back to usual as she lay sprawled in the scattered pile below. But Ruby was already long gone, the sound of footsteps from above indicating the chase had begun again, and the approaching echo of Glynda Goodwitch’s heels warning that it wouldn’t last for much longer.

The Vytal Festival

9:10 AM

Many stalls had been set up on the grounds of beacon and the hill leading up to it, the school opening to the public for the sake of the Vytal Festival.

9:10 AM

Food, minigames, challenges and cafes.

Azuli had found a bike! This was very probably ~~not~~hers

Ember was already scouting for which food stall she should attack first.

Crimson's ears twitched at all the sound, licking her lip at the scent of food -# ~~And if she lurked closer to her partner then that was probably a normal sight at this point~~ (edited)

Ember then spots a stall that has beef skewers and points at it, "GUYS! LOOK! Beef."

Azuli absently contemplated how easy it would be to sabotage most of the minigames and challenges. Would make winning the prizes a breeze

Crimson takes a bite of her own order, chewing on the meat stick and savoring its juices as a distraction from her own embarrassment at being in a Maid costume (edited)

Iris somehow finished the entire skewer in an instant while off camera, leaving it a mystery how she ate it so fast "C'mon, we should see how the other Beacon teams are doing while we're here"

With a mouth still full of meat, Ember quickly stood up, "WELL THAT WASH GREAT, FHANKS FOR THE MEAL MISHTER! COME ON GUYS-" she swallowed as she almost choked, "LET'S EXPLORE THE OTHER PLACES!" She adds and turns to leave, voice a little shaky.

Once they got away out of presumably ear shot and preferrably sight, Ember shudders, looking rather uncomfortable.

After a good few bites, Deviouszuli struck

10:41 AM

She turned to Crimson, and shoved a spoonful into the Dog's mouth

Crimson blinks, chews, and scoops up some of her food to put it in Azuli's

She then turned back to her own meal, as if nothing had happened. She did however, accept the tribute of food. Not in being fed to her however

10:44 AM

She was sadly disappointed when Crimson didn't fail the spice check

It had nothing on fire dust used as spice (edited)

And so Crimson idly enjoyed the flavors of a far off land and enjoyed some spice

10:52 AM

"Well that was nice!" "Wonder if Atlas has anything neat"

10:52 AM

After a short while the food was finished, Azuli deciding it was time to go visit a random minigame/challenge stall instead of only food

10:53 AM

She was both getting rather full, and was sure Iris would have a conniption of epic proportions when faced with Atlas anything

Violet is still eating her funnel cake but there's no signs of it running out She is not complaining

Ember finally manages to catch up after a while of suddenly disappearing, "Ayt I'm back, I got distracted by a weapon's store and then I saw a really cute girl running a sweets store and it was all downhill from there." She says, holding a bag of sweets, "And no I'm not sharing these."

10:54 AM

CUTE GIRL TOBI?!

Ember clears her throat, "So uh... Where-" She wheezes, "Where's the other folks go?" She adds, asking Violet and looking away from the masked man.

Crimson gives her a cheerful wave

10:55 AM

Violet points

Ember gives a curt wave, "Awesome... I uh-" she quickly weighs whether or not the funnel cake is worth it if it means spending time with the man who was probably a ghost. Her sweet tooth deems it so and as such she decides, "Fuck it, I'm having what she's having please." She asks the masked man, pointing at Violet's food before sitting down next to her And scooching rather close to her because she is still fucking spooked.

"The fuck do i look like? A valet? This aint a sweets stand."

"... Wait is this not the stall for the funnel cake?"

The masked man gives her a very deadpan look from beside the Traditional Vacuan Delicacies sign.

11:02 AM

Not that she can see it through the mask.

A few stands away, she could see the funnel cakes.

11:04 AM

She looks to a different, unrelated stand.

She was just realizing that the masked man was working literally every stand.

11:06 AM

Ah well nothing bad has happened yet, it can't get any weirder anyways. Ember decides to go to the funnel cake stall and order one the same like Violet's.

Joss enjoyed his food. He then looks at the masked man "So...Is there a stand that has a you with flamboyant personality?"

"Man that's a pretty useful semblance" Crimson idly says, taking another spoonful of her order (edited)

Kali and Ghira are on the screen. "Jojo! We've landed in Vale, on our way to beacon for the festival right now! Where should we meet you and Blake?"

why is it always face call?! "Oh hey! Uh. I'm kinda busy right now! Yknow. Preparing for the Vytal festival and all that. So i probably can't meet you guys today. Although Blake is free tho. She's at the Festival carnaval. Just ask a toby where she is and he'll tell you. Toby is the vendors here."

In fact Ghira is calling Blake on his scroll.

"I'll see you later" any moment now

Azuli leaned over curiously

Kali keeps her serene smile even as Ghira's scroll connects.

She’d have felt shame, but the Monkey had long since worn out any chance of that

Violet feels second hand embarrassment from being near this (edited)

Joss physically can't disconnect it. The words lies but the hearts stay true "Byeee" please hung up

"Hello Blake, baby." -# "...Hi Dad, so you got my number huh?" "Yes, yes i did. Your mother and i are in vale right now, on our way to beacon. Your brother said he was busy with prepwork so we wanted to ask if you could show us around?"

Their leader seemed like she was on the verge of crying.

1:51 PM

...Please don't make them think I'm racist, my track record isn't great.

Ember just sat down, carrying a bunch of snacks with her on a tray. A hotdog, a bucket of popcorn, a bucket of fries, and a citrus soda. "GET 'EM VI!" She cheered, waving her soda around before taking a sip, "SHOW 'EM WHAT MY BABY CAN DO!" She said, referring to Golden Ambition.

Their leader seemed like she was on the verge of crying.

The nearby redhead human\ pats her on the back comfortingly with a cheery expression while a girl who looks like Blake Belladonna if she was a wolf faunus rolls her eyes like she's seen this a dozen times now*

While her team tries to coax their leader into actually entering the arena, the blue haired bull faunus starts boredly walking around, popping out from seemingly random locations as she strolls out of view (edited)

Does Blake look better as a wolf... Hard to decide.

She gives a friendly wave to MRVS from atop one of the hills with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes

Iris stares at the Bull Faunus as her semblance informs her of the opponents semblance.

2:03 PM

'Uh oh, thats not good...'

She stares back And then winks, tapping her horn Before appearing back with her team

Ember meanwhile was definitely not enjoying the definitely not pretty opponents.

2:11 PM

The leader in question looking absolutely terrified by MRVS

2:11 PM

There is a short discussion among the commentators before a phone call arrives.

2:12 PM

"Approved."

"It's not that bad. How about you use your semblance and test it out yourself, cuz?"

2:32 PM

Violet feels like there is context here that she is not getting

For what it's worth, the other two on her team look equally confused at the exchange

"She must like you guys, I've never seen her get this chatty with anyone," the redhead laughs (edited)

2:34 PM

"Not even me..." she adds silently

"You know what? Maybe i will."

Chewing on some popcorn as she listens in on the banter, Ember focuses on the enemy teams' Semblance, their character, using hers to see if she can work out what their Semblances are before the fight. First was their leader who... Admittedly she just wanted to hug right now given how she looked like she was about to cry. Raising an eyebrow when she saw the concept of an escape vehicle. Something spry, rapid, agile, and reliable... Perhaps she was a speedster of sorts? Or would she be closer to Blake Belladonna?

The blue one turns to the rest of MRVS "Sorry about the extra delay; I was just thinking that Violet and Exu have been looking forward to the festival a lot, and it wouldn't be fair to them if not everyone brought their all," she smiles serenely "Well, not counting this at least," she says, patting the staff holstered on her back before she pulls out a large blunderbuss instead (edited)

Glancing to the one with the red hair, she sees... Ember blinks. What the fuck? Is she a nerd or something? Why does she feel like the fucking internet? How does that make sense-

"I dont know, Moss, you might need it."

Ember's gaze moves back to their leader and realizes, "WAIT WHAT THE FUCK- IS THAT AN ATLESIAN FORTY MIL AUTOCANNON USED BY ATLAS PALADINS-"

3:06 PM

It spins It spins It spins It spins It spins It spins It spins It spins

Shifting her focus to the others, she stares at the wolf and is instsntly confused by two things. The first being she looks like Blake, the second being the fact that she feels like rain, which barely makes sense. Then she turns to the last of the opposing team and... Feels an ornate watch. A clock ticking from its gears.... Can it be... Someone has a time base Semblance? Then she noticed Iris making s move and- Holy shit-

3:07 PM

She used it better than me

"Your little artifact wont save you here, cuz."

Mostima's eyes widen as she fails to rudely interrupt her "... those eyes are actually the real thing, huh"

Iris takes off with a sonic boom, the Cat chasing the Cow.

"You can only run so far, Moss."

She does indeed run out of spots to blink too, before unclasping the the staves at her back, using them to parry the remaining blows "Alright I'll admit, you got me pretty bothered actually" (edited)

Meanwhile Mostima and Iris are fighting at mach speeds on floating pieces of rock inside a time dilation bubble.

Texas continues to stand defensively, hoping to hold out long enough for the fight up above to resolve It doesn't look like it's going to any time soon Mostima is making a lot of jokes about them "settling beef"

The Wheel above Iris' head keeps spinning as she gets faster and faster.

Her hair color rapidly shifts between Red, purple, Crimson and Blonde as she pulls together mutliple semblances, the bubble of stopped time currently hanging in the air that was serving as their platform cracking apart and collapsing as she slashed a Vibrating Katana through the center before proceeding to crouch and touch the ground. The entire floating array of platforms shattered into dust for a fraction of a second before reforming as a gleaming armory of metal blades. Iris transformed into the Bronze figure of the champion as the metal storm took on a black Hue, becoming a tornado of biting edges headed towards the time manipulator.

In response, the image of a massive ethereal clock appears below, spanning across the space contained by the stands and with a noticeable large crack in the face where Silver is standing Then the hands of the clock turn backwards as remains of the arena (save the piece Silver stands on) disappear and reappear in perfect condition up above to the sound of the arena's buzzer indicating multiple ring outs, before that perfect condition is immediately ruined again by the hail of blades embedding itself all over terrain features that previously were down below or gone (edited)

Crimson could barely hold his excitement, visibly buzzing as his eyes shined He'd dreamed of being on this Arena since his teacher took him to watch from the stands This was gonna be GREAT!

Ember adjusts the new peculiar looking block of... Wood? Affixed on her belt behind her. An almost inconspicuous sight to the usual gear of hers just being a lone katana with a scabbard.

Azuli took a moment to check her newly upgraded gear. Props to Ember, she had no idea how the fuck it worked together. Was kinda great though.

"Alright team. Remember. This is 4vs4 not 4 1vs1. Overwhelm them but don't let them do that to us"

"Divide and Conquer Preferred, got it!" Crimson chirps cheerfully, Grimseeker balanced on his shoulder at the moment

"Check check chief." Ember nods, grinning as she scans the surroundings.

Their opponents step onto the battlefield, penny and the twins waving from the other end while Gabriel hefts a massive twinblade on his shoulder and glares.

Crimson waves back at them cheerfully

"Careful. We know the dude have ring type of semblance to disable our movements. Don't get caught on it"

She didn't even have to change her signboard!

Ember makes a quick plan before turning to Azuli, "Az, think you can hide and flank?"

"And with that short bout of friendly conversation... LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!"

Oh shit "JOSS THINK FAST-" Crimson barks before rapidly switching places with Ember and then with Joss, wincing a bit at the dimming of his Aura

And fast he does. Jojo rapidly strikes back the dozen of blades. He managed to fully parries the first wave but the second waves was to much so he got hit Amazingly, the screen of his aura bar seems like it was glitching due to the constant depletion and increase in aura

Thinking fast and thinking that they have to take out Penny FAST Crimson drops his weapon and does two quick switches: The first to switch places with Penny, giving a lil wink to her team in the brief moment he was there And the second back to Grimseeker, the piledriver rocketing to his hand as be brings his all into ONE BLOW

8:39 AM

# KER CLUNK

Schwing.

8:43 AM

The Pilebunker is swatted to the side by all six floating blades.

8:43 AM

"There goes Crimson, Teleporting to and from using his semblance."

The dog faunus' ears droop a bit at the failed hit before firming up once more

"That is a very dangerous weapon Friend Crimson!" (edited)

Crimson winces a bit at that "I may have gotten a bit too into things, sorry" In hindsight it was probably better for her to parried it It was A big blow, if it actually hit ...Maybe a bit too much, Grimseeker was made to take out Grimm, after all (edited)

8:47 AM

Jojo shows some gender equality

8:50 AM

Realised that he didn't fully Knock her aura to the red. Jojo can't help but comment "You're one sturdy gal. Yknow that right?"

"I am combat ready!"

8:51 AM

Penny salutes with her head buried into the ground, standing as straight as an arrow. (edited)

"don't take candy from strangers kid"

Ember sees the opportunity and dashes in, firing Fujin to draw out Raijin in a blur, red electricity streaking as it headed for the robot.

Six blades fly in from the side to deflect the strike.

The blade simply flows to the side into a second slash.

This time, the blades arent fast enough to divert the strike as Fujin carves a line across Penny's aura.

Ember sees the Aura dip to red and moves her blade to the side, sheathing her sword.

A Green haired girl in the audience nurses a headache.

"机器人你很不好" says Iris, even though her records say she has only ever lived in Vale

“Miss Marten what did you just say?” (edited)

Ember blinks as she sees Penny's Aura gauge flicker back to full before glaring.

9:14 AM

"Something's... Something's wrong."

9:15 AM

She turns to her teammates, "Did they say what Semblance Penny has?"

"only heard she has autism"

Violet/Garter

“Miss Marten what did you just say?” (edited)

"I said they did a good job, sorry the crowd's kinda loud"

Ember

She turns to her teammates, "Did they say what Semblance Penny has?"

"I don't think so?" Crimson quickly then signs to his partner Thanks! (edited)

Jojo made the conclusion that the dumber penny is, the more aura she gets. And the brain damage he gave her made her have full pool

"Y'all saw her Aura go back up right?" She asks, growing increasingly worried. (edited)

"Same semblance as me then?"

"I highly doubt that, she's parried a lot of attacks and it didn't heal her."

Crimson frowns, squinting at the aura screen for a moment (edited)

-# "AND WITH THAT! PENNY POLLENDINA IS OUT OF THE MATCH!" They dont have any longer to talk as Mirage comes sliding in with insane momentum, Blasting Ember in the face with two shots from a shotgun before taking out an exact copy of one of Baja's pistols. (edited)

9:28 AM

Ember barely gets the time to react, parrying the first blast with a grunt before yelping when she gets pelted by a buckshot and flames as she fails to parry the second blast. (edited)

Joss recieves a hypersonic tungsten fletchette directly to his forehead.

9:32 AM

and hes out!

"That ought to hurt!" # "Joss Jonquil has been taken out of the match!"

-# "I'm getting some soft tacos" said the monkey as he walks away (edited)

"Shit, trading queens-"

She draws out Fujin and begins to mag dump at Mirage mid-fire.

Mirage grins.

9:51 AM

"Bad move sis."

9:51 AM

"What the-"

9:58 AM

Ember braces herself at the onslaught of her own empowered shots punched right at her, brushing herself off afterwards without realizing how low her Aura's gotten.

9:59 AM

She laughed, "Now this is what I wanna see!"

9:59 AM

She raises her blade, still keeping up in the fight.

9:59 AM

# "Ember out by aura Loss."

Wow this fight went south right after getting Penny out

10:00 AM

"What-" (edited)

10:06 AM

"Nah ain't no way-" Ember looks up at the screen. (edited)

"But- But- But-" Ember was suddenly levitated and dragged out of the ring, "At least hang out with us lateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrr!" she called out to the twins, flailing her depowered blade mid-air." (edited)

Virgil starts throwing coins into the air.

"Oh that doesn't look good"

The red twin gives a cocky smile at crimson.

10:12 AM

A massive revolver spins in her offhand as she brings it up and shoots one of the pennies.

The small coins bouncing off each other rapidly before one of them shoots directly towards Virgil... Who proceeds to punch it with her other arm, causing a shockwave as all the coins go bouncing towards Crimson and Azuli.

Azuli promptly vanished from sight, deciding to have none of that

"Remember Crimson, The gimmick weapons are always the most ridiculous" The sound advice from his mentor's team mate resounds in his head, the moon touched's words making a whole lot of sense right now

10:16 AM

He promptly switches places with Gabriel, having decided that no He also doesn't want to deal with that

3

10:16 AM

Oh no.

Almost as quickly as it happened, Ember was put in the benches next to Penny and Joss, "Oh hi Penny!"

The twins both reel back as the coins impact into their teammate.

4

"Yoooo thanks dude!" Ember quickly takes the food and bites down on it, looking at the match and... (edited)

"Machine."

The man starts glowing a brilliant gold.

Crimson feels as though he made a sudden and massive mistake

10:18 AM

"For this transgression I will cut you down, break you apart, splay the gore of your profane form across remnant! I will grind you down until your stolen aura cries for mercy! My hands shall relish ending you... here and now"!

Meanwhile, Azuli tactically slapped a bush down, deciding to take cover from the impending problem

"For this transgression I will cut you down, break you apart, splay the gore of your profane form across remnant! I will grind you down until your stolen aura cries for mercy! My hands shall relish ending you... here and now"!

JoJo Leans and Whisper to penny "Is this normal?"

"Oh what the hell?" Crimson mutters incredulously This Man Would Not Survive The Frontier Winter The faunus thinks to himself, knowing that if all it takes is that much to provoke this kind of response then the man is a fucking GRIMM magnet (edited)

10:23 AM

Ember also leans towards Penny, "Is he uh, is he serious about the descriptive insults?"

10:23 AM

"Oh also what's your Semblance?"

"I have never seen friend gabriel this angry..."

"ah"

"Oh my, what is that..."

The man in front of them becomes engulfed in Golden light momentarily as his aura recharges to full on the gauge above them. When the light subsides, the young huntsman is replaced by a towering armored figure with glowing wings.

10:37 AM

# "Repent. Lay out your head and perhaps God shall allow you respite in the afterlife."

"Yeesh."

Crimson forms a hands sign as he brings some fire back to the light of his soul

"... Is that his Semblance?"

Maybe my anger problems aren't that bad after all

Because Holy fuck he's gonna need it

10:44 AM

"Isn't this...a bit much?" Crimson mutters

Ember

"... Is that his Semblance?"

"I'm just glad he isn't racially motivated"

"I'm pretty sure he can't get any angrier than that-"

Foremost Soak Hater

# "Repent. Lay out your head and perhaps God shall allow you respite in the afterlife."

"Hey Baja do you want to be introduced"

Ember

"I'm pretty sure he can't get any angrier than that-"

The Angel proceeds to call down massive beams of light from the sky to Smite his opponents.

"Well neverfuckingmind!" Ember stands up, "How the hell has the professors not stopped this yet???"

One of the beams gets reflected back at him while another is dodged. However, the last beam puts a massive hole through the Blue haired twin.

Her taco falls out of her hand.

Ember

"Well neverfuckingmind!" Ember stands up, "How the hell has the professors not stopped this yet???"

The anwser becomes aparrent as port slams a blackened fist into the hardlight barrier around the Colessium.

11:17 AM

Any cracks on the barrier heal within moments as the professor's arm sizzles.

"THAT'S IT I'M PULLING UP-" She spots the professor and makes a mad dash towards him, flash stepping to close the distance, "PROFESSOR PORT, I CAN HELP!"

11:17 AM

She draws her blade and activates its gimmick, red electricity beginning to arc around it.

While she does that, the jumbotron above the arena, and all devices tuned into the CCT for the Vytal festival change to show the robot girl currently bleeding out her insides into the arena. The oil leaking out in the color of fresh blood as whoever was on the other end began on a long monologue.

She stabs the sword into the barrier and begins cutting a hole through.

# GRIMM THREAT: LEVEL 9 DETECTED, PLEASE EVACUATE, ALL PERSONNEL TO BATTLE STATIONS

[Its a Friday.]

It felt like a Monday

Ember growled as she cut through the hardlight while she was forced to watch Raijin's blade become superheated, glowing brightly yet holding still just long enough for it to create a decently sized hole in the barrier that should be enough for the others to escape through. Finally, the blade finishes its job for its wielder and melts into a puddle beneath her, back to whence it came just like the day it was being made.

Oh it's this bitch

7:45 AM

Wait, if she was here then Roman was probably close at hand

7:45 AM

Mismatched eyes gazed mischievously out at Azuli as Port fought the Maddened Paladin in the arena down below.

Azuli paired this with the most angelic smile she could

7:47 AM

She was totally going to plant a bush in that mans ass.

Neo's mischievous grin Grew.

7:48 AM

She shrugged and pointed at an Atlas battleship that was currently shooting down nevermore.

She mimed handcuffs, rubbing at her eyes as if crying.

7:50 AM

Azuli gave a very conspiratorial nod of what was totally sympathy, miming a patting symbol right back as she tossed her whiteboard behind her.

7:51 AM

It blew away in the wind, somehow managing to fly off straight into the back of Crimson's head

7:52 AM

The power of the Anti-Gooner Genre Conceit would not be denied (edited)

Neo blew a silent raspberry at Azuli.

7:55 AM

She began walking. Circling the student.

Azuli gave a smirk and wink back, even as she gave a little stretch, slowly moving to circle against Neo

8:00 AM

After a moment she initiated, kicking off the ground as she swung at Neo

The Illusion shattered as Azuli ate the ground, head ringing from impact.

8:06 AM

Neo grinned down at her, leaning down and glaring at her with a demeaning glint in her eyes.

Azuli smirked right back, even as she warped above her, teleporting her fist into the back of Neo's head, and swinging down as hard as she could (edited)

The illusion shattered as Azuli ate the concrete again.

This time, the assailant made o show of stomping a boot down on her and drawing a blade from her parasol.

Owie

The threat was clear.

Man, this bitch was just the worst

8:10 AM

Azuli took a moment to consider her next course of action before giving a nod to herself

8:11 AM

She promptly slapped a bush down where they stood, then started chain teleporting away (edited)

Behind her on the floor, she left a sign.

8:18 AM

8:19 AM

She'd ~~stab~~ see her later!

Neo sighed and then shrugged towards an invisible audience. Well, the little tyke couldnt complain about not being saved later...

8:19 AM

She Walked off to steal a bullhead.

8:20 AM

Oh hey a Bush.

8:21 AM

Kick.

Bleeding Azuli flopped out

Neo hooked the handle of her parasol around her foot and began dragging her away, humming a melody no one could hear.

Neo proceeded to drag the Limp Azuli to the nearest bullhead dock. Kill the pilot and steal the ship.

8:25 AM

8:25 AM

Oh god does she even know how to fly?

They Landed on the Mothership.

Back at Amity. Holy shit Port is going wild.

Ember briefly even notices their professor going ape fucking shit, as she was too focuse on the apparently robotic twins, kneeling in front of the now deceased one, "Ah shit, okay okay okay okay, you two are apparently special super cool robots and are now bleeding out and dying, that should be fine for me..."

9:00 AM

She places a hand on Mirage's forehead, trying to feel her inner mechanisms with her Aura and hoping as hard as she can she can do anything about it.

Virgil is trying to stem her sisters bleeding with her stumps.

2

9:01 AM

Her facial expression is unchanged.

Crimson doesn't pay much attention to the beat down Port is giving The Bastard His eyes are locked on Mirage's body Did I do this? I shouldn't have switched A Huntsman is dead because of me- The Faunus' head filling with static as his mind spirals

Ember takes a combination of a deep breath and a shaky gasp once she feels the mechanical parts underneath and closes her eyes as she focuses repairing something this massive and this important for the first time, her orange aura covering the dying robot in a soft glow.

Pop.

9:03 AM

The machine takes a deep breath.

9:03 AM

"Huh-"

9:03 AM

Mirage looks confused.

9:04 AM

"Let me go back..."

Ember blinks.

9:04 AM

"YOU'RE ALI- Okay, valid, but too bad, you're gonna enjoy life."

Virgil punches her sister with a stump.

Crimson blinks at that, breathing starting to steady at the sight, the static receding a bit Then he gets hit with a whiteboard to the head -# "ow what the hell?" (edited)

The overglorified mechanic sees the stump and quickly grabs said stump, repairing it just as fast as the sister of said owner.

"I would appreciate if you let go of my hand."

"Hold still if you want it back the way it was." (edited)

"..."

Once all's said and done, or repaired for her case, Ember stands back up after letting go, dusting her hands off.

9:07 AM

Which was a bad idea, because now there's oil all over her hands. (edited)

9:07 AM

She groans.

Virgil punches her sister properly this time.

9:08 AM

"Okay maybe i deserved that..."

Ember's Aura glimmers as it returns to full strength while she looked around to assess their situation, "Alright, everyone doing fine?"

"Hm." "Oh, pops gonna be pissed huh-" "Yeah." (edited)

Ember looks at them with a bit of worry, "I hope I didn't put something back in the wrong place, did I?"

"I dunno, i dont have self diagnostics."

9:10 AM

Mirage shrugs.

She blinks.

9:11 AM

"... Why?"

"Our semblance breaks it." (edited)

9:12 AM

Virgil nodded.

"... Oh. Weird but fair enough, let me see if I can..." Her blue eyes glow orange for a moment as she gives the two a quick lookover.

9:13 AM

"You two seem to be perfectly fine at least, so whoever made you two hopefully won't kill me."

9:13 AM

-# "I know I'd kill anyone who puts my babies back in the wrong order."

Oh thank god they're okay Crimson breathes a sigh of relief, now fully snapped out of his spiral Now how does he say "Hey sorry for setting off your bastard of a team mate off and thanks for taking saving me back there- Is this even the time for that? Oh brother gods this day is going too fast- Crimson thinks silently, looking up at the Grimm gathering above them

Mirage returns a Thumbs up while her sullen sister nods.

Meanwhile while all this was happening and Crimson was finishing up his doomering, a random whiteboard flew out of nowhere, the wind carrying it straight into the back of his head

Another one.

Oddly enough, it seemed to be mostly a whole lot of bitching about some "Flamboyant orange dickhead"

Crimson looks at the board, completely baffled That's the second time he got hit by a whiteboard in the middle of some bad thoughts The dog faunus tries to find his partner, thank her for snapping him out of it ..... Wait Where the fuck is Azuli?

There is a bush with signs of scuffle nearby.

It was... Pink?

The hell is a Bush doing here? Crimson is Very Confused looking at it He might not know where Azuli is But he has faith in his partner, that she'd be alright (edited)

Ember cannot shake off the feeling that something is horribly, irreversably wrong with the Blue twin.

9:21 AM

Hm, who's that in the distance?

9:22 AM

Whoever it was, dissappeared when she blinked.

She blinks, eyes fading black to bright blue.

9:22 AM

"I... Have a feeling that we might be cooked."

"Stir Fried?"

Violet made her way over holding her axe "So what's the situation...apolgies for asking but weren't you dead just now?"

"I don't know what it is..." She points at Mirage, "But bringing you back is giving me an extremely horrible feeling..."

Mirage shrugged.

9:24 AM

"Just another crime against the circle of life, i guess."

"Yeah... I think we're promoted from cooked to burnt."

Ember

"Yeah... I think we're promoted from cooked to burnt."

Violet stares impassively at this conversation "I will never understand this manner of speech" (edited)

Crimson frowns at that before shrugging, trying to lift some of his unease as he jokes "Just like our Mission then"

Ember stares at where she last saw that weird glimpse for a solid five seconds before turning back to her friends.

9:28 AM

"Beyond that."

9:29 AM

"I'm... Gonna try to shrug this off, but everyone keep your wits with you."

Just for that, Crimson narrowly avoided risking another whiteboard descending upon him

-# "That's the third damn time, where the fuck is 'Zuli throwing these from-" The dog faunus mutters (edited)

"So what is the plan? Clearly this attack was premeditated considering the speech over the speakers"

Ember hums in thought before turning to the running people and then the screens.

Scenes of massacre play across the screen, of people dying to grimm.

"Alright, issues in order. First and foremost is the people needing to evacuate this crashing arena, and then the fact that there are Grimm running amok, and then the fact that we ourselves are in trouble as well." (edited)

-# "That's the third damn time, where the fuck is 'Zuli throwing these from-" The dog faunus mutters (edited)

What Crimson didn’t know was that Neo, shortly after kidnapping Azuli, had dumped her “Writing Bag” off the Bullhead. How she’d managed to fit 39 Whiteboards into a single bag nobody knew, but Crimson was fucked

Foremost Soak Hater

Scenes of massacre play across the screen, of people dying to grimm.

"We're Huntsmen" Crimson says simply, watching the screen as something ugly starts curling in his chest "We hunt" The Faunus' hand gripped tightly on his weapon, his ears rearing back as an angry look starts to twist his face (edited)

Much to Azuli’s immeasurable rage once she realized she’d have to rebuy her whiteboards. Again

Ember watches her teammate and was quickly reminded, pulling out the handle of the bladeless Raijin, her aura glowing as Raijin restores itself back to pristine condition.

9:39 AM

"We hunt it is."

9:40 AM

"And if we can, we try to save anyone along the way."

Violet nods and readies Gilded ambiton "Understood"

"Let's get going then." She turns to the twins, "You two coming?"

9:43 AM

"We could use your help in helping clear out the city, gods know the place is loaded with Grimm right now." (edited)

They looked at each other, then shrugged.

9:45 AM

A pillar of shattered stone erupted from the middle of the Arena, followed by a pillar of Red and Gold light.

9:45 AM

A massive explosion hit the city below them moments later.

9:46 AM

Gabriel Lightborne, out of bounds.

"Soooo we taking a ship down or are we jumping down from there?"

Gabriel Lightborne, out of bounds.

Good fucking riddance Crimson thinks to himself, before looking around in case there's a fourth whiteboard thrown at him

"We could just jump off." Mirage added.

9:49 AM

"Fastest route to combat." Virgil nodded.

Ember looks to the other two, "Dunno about you two but I feel like recreating Beacon's day one."

9:51 AM

She clicks her tongue.

9:51 AM

"Soooo uh... LAST ONE DOWN BUYS DINNER!"

9:51 AM

Ember flashsteps into the hole.

Incredible.

9:51 AM

Mirage and Virgil leap right after.

Crimson limbers up Leaping in place for a moment "Okay let's do this" The dog faunus promptly jumps in right after his team mate

Violet leans backwards off the edge with her axe readied as she falls to hit any grimm on the way down (edited)

Six metallic wings extruding from their backs as they sped past the samurai on the way down.

"ARGH I KNEW THOSE LOOKED TOO MUCH LIKE WINGS TO BE WEAPONS! NOT FAIR!"

Mirage pulls down an eyelid and blows a raspberry.

9:53 AM

Before speeding up again in a streak of blue.

Crimson let's out a bark of amusement as he throws Grimseeker at a Grimm he's sighted

The samurai shakes her katana at them as she turns into a streak of orange trying to catch up with bursts of flash steps.

Its a target rich encounter.

9:54 AM

Grimm getting mowed down by the dozen as the robot twins bouce bullets off of each other.

Violet lets off a small smile as she slashes at any Grimm unfortunate enough to come within her range (edited)

Ember lets loose a barrage of fire down on the horde of Grimm as she descended.

Crimson zips around, breaking bigger through the bigger Grim with the full force of Grimseeker Hell, he even tries his new gloves out on a spin! Sure they blow up on him but it takes a Grimm or two with it!

9:58 AM

Ow

Idiot.

Violet impacts the ground with a crack, concrete cratering around her as she stands unharmed from her aura's hardening protecting her

Ember follows shortly after, delayed by her recoil, landing with a softer thud. (edited)

10:01 AM

She draws out Fujin, ready to blast at targets from afar. "You take the big gals and I take smaller ones?" She asks Violet.

"Sound's fine by me"

"Wait, where's Crim-" She suddenly hears an explosion near them.

"Oh that's not good."

"Gweh" Crimson let's out a noise as the smoke dissipates Turns out he wasn't that good at Dust Weaving yet

10:09 AM

"I'm gonna pretend that never happened."

Crimson coughs, thoroughly embarrassed

"Well, no time to fuck about, we got Grimm to kill and people to save." (edited)

10:15 AM

A wheel turns in Violet's eye "Try to not fall too far behind"

A deafening roar silences all combat in the city.

10:17 AM

In the distance, mountain glenn shakes.

10:17 AM

It cracks like a cocoon.

10:17 AM

It shatters.

Crimson grins at that, focusing back on the one thing he's been training for Hunting Grimm- Oh what the fuck

An ancient beast emerges.

10:19 AM

The flaps of its wings uproot trees as it starts flying, raining down black tar and grimm from its skin.

10:20 AM

It crashes into an Atlas superdestroyer. The megastructure collasping around its talons as the beast brings the warmachine crashing into the city.

Yeah.... Yeah no chief, she's definitely dying if she's hunting that. Can't say the idea of beheading it doesn't tempt he- Oh it just destroyed that warmachine.

10:21 AM

Maybe... Maybe she can repai- No wait, too big. For now.

Violet looks at Gilded and back up again “I never thought I’ll see Grimm in which a railgun would be too small of a calibre”

"Well... I think I'm the only one with the weapon that can hurt it but... I'll die before I get there. For now at least..."

One of the three remaining super destroyers begins banking starboard as the rest open fire on the grimm.

10:23 AM

A volley of shots go off. From the Capital Ship of General Ironwood.

10:24 AM

Atlas Superdestroyers, Liberty and Frontier begin crashing.

Crimson stared at the sight for a moment, remembering the last bit of the oath that lit the fires for his soul

“Wait what’s happening what’s wrong with that super destroyer why is it firing on the others”

Ember stares at it and glares. "... It's the same fucks who hacked into Amity."

The Capital ship turned its main canon towards beacon.

"Who else can hack shit like that?!"

10:25 AM

"Wait-"

The massive barrel began to glow an ominous red.

"... Oh."

10:25 AM

"I may have a stupid idea."

'For it is in Sacrifice do we achieve Purpose, to protect all we cherish' The words ring through Crimson's mind, tasting like Ash on the back of his throat

Ember

"I may have a stupid idea."

“I sincerely hope it does not involve you trying to block that attack”

"It definitely involves me trying to block that attack."

The cannon fires, a shockwave of fire dispersing the cloud cover over the city.

10:42 AM

The twins collapse to the ground.

"Ah crap..."

10:43 AM

"Shit-" Ember flashsteps to try and catch at least one of them, if not both.

The shot sails across the evening sky like a falling asteroid. Striking a green barrier that covers beacon.

Crimson also flashsteps to try and support the twins, before gazing at the terrible spectacle

The beam splits into a kaleidoscope of colors, digging trenches in the land around the school.

10:47 AM

The barrier shimmers out just as a fire breaks out inside the Airship.

They watch as Atlas combat Droids fall to their knees around them. The Grimm advancing over the lacking covering fire.

10:57 AM

Moments later, the Bots rise, their faceplates glowing red. They grab their fallen weapons and turn around, opening fire on the civillians and huntsmen using them as shields.

Crimson is not having a good day This is reminding him way too much of the Damn Lab

"Wait... If they- Then that means-" She turns to the twins.

Crimson has a feeling his day is about to get worse again

They rise back up with stiff and robotic motions.

11:02 AM

Turning around and leveling their guns at the group.

"Oh it can't get anymore cliche than this..."

11:02 AM

Ember raises Raijin and Fujin together.

11:02 AM

"I sure fucking hope your souls are still in there, hearing us!"

Oh the day is getting worse

Red lightning begins to arc across Raijin, "Please, at least direct it to the Grimm!"

No one heard.

"This day keeps getting worse and worse, wonderful"

She growls, "If I have to cut you two out of your fucking coding then so be it!"

If there were still Grimm around they'd be attracted to the slowly building rage within Crimson

There are a lot, actually.

11:10 AM

Like, a lot. (edited)

11:10 AM

In the distance a herd of goliaths broke through the city walls.

the sound of distant goliaths brings Crimson back to a time when he was very small and his town was destroyed around him His day just got even worse

Oh hey, one has a very Grim seeker hole in its mask...

11:12 AM

What a coinkydink.

She sees the Grimm beginning through breach through the walls and looks back to the twins with a tired look upon her face. "Why can't life be all tinkering and monstergirls..." She dryly says, gripping her weapons. (edited)

11:30 AM

The evacuation was going fine.

Atlesian Soldiers and White Fang working together for the first time in history.

11:38 AM

Ghira Belladonna led from the front as more and more Bullheads with the Roar and claw insignia of the white fang arrived.

One of the White Fang, in a uniform usually not seen far from the throne room in Mistral and wielding a sword that not too long ago was on every other TV in Vale, stands guard above, prepared to leap into action against the Grimm and rampaging machines threatening the evacuation

Ghira gives the person a bombastic side eye before returning to evac duty.

She makes sure to tilt her chin up and to the side in just the right way to indicate she's rolling her eyes underneath her mask before returning her attention to the job as well

The bots raise their weapons.

Before the robotic heads and torsos near simultaneously split as a Scythe passes through the group twice Ruby in a White Fang uniform would be a surreal sight to any of her friends if they were present

12:10 PM

The Evac was mostly done. The Huntsmen were being split between beacon and Vale.

Ghira looked conflicted between the two before sighing and turning to the Huntress.

12:23 PM

"Go to beacon and try to find the kids, the dragon has been circling there for too long..."

She nods "I'll try to get everyone out safe, but I can't promise if they stay and fight. I'll help if they do though."

Foremost Soak Hater

Turning around and leveling their guns at the group.

Back to the main group It looks like the group need to fight the twins But then a sudden music can be heard from the distance getting louder and louder https://youtu.be/QBmFigUghBw?si=rWq96byTIoUsnHvC (edited)

Jaime Y Los Chamacos Los Dos Laredos Acordeones de Oro

1:12 PM

An RV. Speeding towards the group. It hits some of the robots as it keeps on going closer and closer As it gets near. It doesn't show any sign of slowing down The RV hits the twins that makes them fly away from the impact and the RV stops right Infront of the group The doors open revealing JAGE team leader with some civilians "Fuckin machines. Yall alright?"

Crimson's face goes through several expressions before he goes blank Not Machines. Huntsmen "This is the second worst day of my life so far" Crimson says blandly

"My babies can now be in action..." Ember was already inside from flash stepping in, clearly more than excited to use every single upgrade she made for the RV. (edited)

The two were covered by a black dome.

When the dome Retreated, the body of Emerald Sustrai, laying on the grass with a catatonic look, suddenly came back to life.

3:43 PM

The two Baja's stared at each other.

4:12 PM

The world bled red.

4:12 PM

The distant sounds of combat disappeared, all that remained was inky black and blood red.

4:12 PM

That world was split in half.

Light - Finally.

4:56 PM

4:57 PM

Baja Red temporarily ceases to exist, in her place stands an androgynous figure bathed in light. Lacking any and all color and depth.

4:58 PM

"You mortals, always so conceited."

4:59 PM

Light swipes a hand to the side. An ornate, masterfully crafted Golden spear arising from the ground to Impale the faunus in front of him. It is cut in twain.

4:59 PM

The smile dissapears.

A circular Hole in reality Opens above Adam, he manages to get his sword above him just in time as an immense burst of heat instantly turns the surrounding lamdscape into Magma. His blade begins glowing red hot, aura rapidly depleting as his skin blisters and his feet sink into the magma.

5:07 PM

He absorbs the power of the sun.

5:09 PM

The Amused yet cruel god simply raises a finger to the heavens before bringing it down. The Night sky lights up as a chunk of the moon blazes past the atmosphere.

5:12 PM

The Mad bull simply clenches tighter to his blade even as his skin bubbles and bursts. The Entirety of Sanus is Bathed in Black and Red, the world bleeds at the seams, as a mad Mortal does its best to defy god, unsheathing his blade. Splitting the magma beneath him and the asteroid above him, with a single world cutting slash.

5:13 PM

His Beloved weapon, a companion and a piece of his soul, shatters into millions of pieces alongside the slash, Aura crackling around him in its last dying breaths.

5:16 PM

The Deity, uncaring for Mortal struggle, simply wills for him to dissapear from sight. The Faunus goes flying, taking several extremely hasty breaths to bring a flicker of his aura back to life moments before hr collides with the side of a mountain.

5:17 PM

He wheezes out a few short breaths before focusing back on where he came from. A keening wail, like a boiling pot and glass being cut, paradoxical shapes, a tesseract and a Kaleidoscope.

5:19 PM

https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/FlPTGVG5oQXIFM-Ir-ufy46O5efw6NRcdATvM9uVty4/https/media.tenor.com/tDR-KfiCkbkAAAPo/due-process-meme.mp4

5:21 PM

He reaches behind him and pulls out the cleaver of Gambol Shroud, eating another devestating strike from a god even as a mountain melts around him.

5:22 PM

He Glares back at the god even as His body begins to glow, hair spiking up as Red and Black bleed into the world once more.

5:24 PM

The Mortal defiant in the face of absolute power. *The God's smile fully falls. Replaced by a sneer.

5:25 PM

The continent of Sanus lights up as daytime arrives, a miniature sun held in the gods Palm.

5:27 PM

The Deity Crushes the Star. Clenching their fist harder and harder as the light around them begins to distort. And then, he points a finger at the mortal before opening his palm.

A Singularity, an accretion disk of light visible around it, bending above and below it. It continues to compress until even its accretion disk dissapears. The god flicks his finger.

5:29 PM

A new canyon is carved, a jagged scar across the surface of remnant, as the strike heads for the defiant Mortal.

5:31 PM

Yet once again, the accursed Blade strikes the infinite might of a god and comes out the victor.

5:33 PM

"What a filthy Pest. Why. Wont. You. DIE."

5:35 PM

A beam of purple light descends from the heavens directly onto the Mortal, yet his blade is in the way once more.

5:35 PM

The man rasps out a wheezing laugh from ash filled lungs, body blazing with stored power and leaking its Inky flame into the world.

5:36 PM

"Because i still havent gotten what i want."

5:36 PM

The blade is sheathed.

5:37 PM

And then it is drawn.

5:38 PM

The Entirety of Remnant feels the world still, the very air Bleeding, the winds howling in anguish as the color drained out of every thing. Replaced only by blood red flames. A god was felled by Mortal hands.

2

5:41 PM

The sound of shattering metal rings out across the devastated plains. The God's perfect form, begins to crack. Faster and faster. "HOW- HOOOW-" The mortal shell of the God turns to ash as the blade in the Faunus' hand shatters into dust. He groans before collapsing face first into the mud.

"Hmmm. Quite the amusing show that was, huh?"

6:03 PM

The Hybrid comes strutting out of the jungle covered in blood.

6:06 PM

She slings an arm around Em-Baja's shoulders.

6:07 PM

"So, senorita, do you care to explain?"

[2;35m[1;35mOLIVIER DE GENNES[0m[2;35m[0m - You're not strong enough, don't even try.

The pressure on your shoulder increases.

6:15 PM

"You see, sinorita, funny thing with having these eyes is. I can see you, all of you. Even the three, well now two, parasites in there."

6:16 PM

With a sickening tearing sound, an arm is removed.

6:16 PM

"And i can also taste what you were planning. Oh such delicate and contradictory greed. I simply had to see for myself."

6:19 PM

She shakes off the blood from her hand.

6:20 PM

"You feel a lot like that old bastard Ozma you know that?"

"Without these troublemakers rattling around in that dome of yours, something like today shouldn't happen again."

6:26 PM

She waves a hand off to the side as black and Grey motes fly away from baja and sink into her arm.

6:27 PM

She humms to herself, looking at the still bleeding stump.

6:28 PM

"Well i guess i have to reimburse you huh?"

[2;36m"That doesn't really answer my question, though..."[0m

The hybrid shrugs before ripping off her own arm and abruptly slamming it onto the stump.

6:28 PM

It is unimaginably painful.

6:29 PM

The grimm flesh sizzling and bubbling as it fused with the limb.

6:29 PM

"Im not here to answer your questions. Anyway dont keep that Arm or the body for too long or your soul will collapse, ciao!"

6:30 PM

And then she was gone in a storm of petals.

[2;36m"Haa...Whatever, I've got some stuff to do."[0m

The rustbucket finally made its way onto the Beacon Courtyard.

9:07 AM

Up ahead a group of students were fighting off several paladins.

9:12 AM

A streak of red shot out of the Headmaster's tower.

Ember stared at the paladins, a look of 'love at first sight' in her eyes. (edited)

"Deploying BB. Do your thing girls" Jojo press a button and two machine guns pops out from the side of the RV pointing towards the front as the RV gets closer to the paladins and students

Funnily enough, it was already deployed, Ember already deployed everything the moment they arrived.

at this point JoJo will ask for some c~~hild~~ar support

Having snapped out of a Goliath induced Panic Attack along the way to Beacon Crimson saw a shot from one of the Atlesian Spiders go towards the Rust Bucket She watches the shot comes close- And with a snap the shot switches places with a Fledgling Nevermore

"Thank you brotha. Now. Show those junks some lead!"

The Spider Mech's weapons glowed with malicious light even as the gathered students cheered on. Having downed the paladins they were facing.

9:37 AM

-# "WOOO! GO MONKEY BROTHER GO!"

9:40 AM

who said that?

Crimson gets a little smile on her face for the first time since the shit show started before shaking her head, starting to grin as she yelled, forgetting to adjust her voice to sound more masculine "START BLASTING VIOLET!" (edited)

Needs To Be Studied

Crimson gets a little smile on her face for the first time since the shit show started before shaking her head, starting to grin as she yelled, forgetting to adjust her voice to sound more masculine "START BLASTING VIOLET!" (edited)

The bullets eat into the Earth dust reinforced duststeel of the Mech. Blowing chunks off of its armor panels as a leg and one of its cannons collapse to the ground.

9:48 AM

The Mech roars static from its speakers.

What the fuck it can roar?

9:51 AM

9:52 AM

Ember suddenly realized that that mech Can now be fixed and belong to her.

9:52 AM

"THAT ONE'S MINE NOW, FINISH IT OFF AND I CAN PROBABLY USE IT!!!!"

Violet does her best to ignore her violently screaming friend and continues to unload on the mech

9:59 AM

Jojo tryna see if his scroll working

It is not.

10:00 AM

The CCT Transmit Booster collapses behind beacon.

Dayum. Hope Ghira and kali is aaight

Violet yells out of the window and to the rest of the people "I believe I got it"

"Get in losers. We bringing this party to the Big Bad Dragon"

"HELL YEAH!" NoraOMG

"HOL ON I'M BAGGING A BADDIE-" Ember shouted in the RV before hopping out and running to the mech with her sword out. Then she briefly realized she can probably use it as a secret mousekatool for later and decides otherwise, "NEVERMIND WE SAVE THAT FOR LATER!"

Crimson giggles at that, finding Ember's excitement to be cute and a much needed source of levity (edited)

She then runs back to the RV, pointing a sword at the dragon afterwards, "NOW WE SLAY A FUCKFACE!"

The students willing to fight an actual Dragon pile into the Van while the rest spread out to keep defending beacon.

10:10 AM

Weiss sighs.

"we'll find Blondie and Red. Don't worry"

A delicate eyebrow raised.

10:12 AM

"You and Blake ignoring each other even in this situation? Really?"

10:12 AM

She huffs.

"You'll get used to it."

He refuses to answer that (edited)

"Blake ran off to help with evacuation and yang went after her, i dont know where Ruby is."

"Still haven't heard her distinct gunshots yet?"

"Red the heroic type. Where you thinking she's going? You're her partner"

She gestures to... everything. The sounds of many, many gunshots and crumbling infrastructure.

10:14 AM

"Gee, im sorry for not being such a weapons nut that i can recognize the sound among all of... this!" She scowled.

10:14 AM

"Not everyone is as hare brained and obsessed as you and Ruby you know!"

"Sounds like a skill issue to me princess."

10:15 AM

Crimson coughs (edited)

"Ren. Buddy where's Jaune and dragon fruit?" Jojo ask mulan

She sighs. "Im not dealing with you. She said something about fixing the Atlas robots, but that means she'd have to get to the Flagship."

10:15 AM

Ren perked up.

10:16 AM

Nora answered.

"... Ain't no way she's making her way there-"

"Fearless Leader and Pyrrah went off with Ozpin for some super secret mission!"

"Bet. Where?"

"Wait- Shit- Is Ruby actually trying to fucking make it to the stupid ship?"

An explosion breaks out in the bow of the ship where the command station can be seen.

10:17 AM

"Thats probably her."

Ember

"Wait- Shit- Is Ruby actually trying to fucking make it to the stupid ship?"

"The one thats currently in the claws of the dragon?" Crimson asks, looking out the window

"it appears that she has"

"GODS DAMNIT-"

"The one thats currently in the claws of the dragon?" Crimson asks, looking out the window

No not that one.

# "AND SHE DIDN'T THINK OF INVITING ME???"

10:18 AM

"I AIN'T LETTING MY LIL BUDDY FIGHT THERE ALONE WITH ALL THAT GLORIOUS ATLESIAN TECH-"

Ow. Ears.

"I dont think she had the time." Ren cordially pointed out to the Agitated Ember, putting a hand on her shoulder.

10:18 AM

Ember calmed down.

Crimson winces too, rubbing at her ear before starting to worry about her partner again -# "I hope Azuli's okay..." (edited)

She looks at Ren, blinking.

10:18 AM

"Man I should hang out with you guys more."

Nora glared from behind him. Making a cut throat gesture.

10:19 AM

"Jaune and Pyrrha should be at the Headmaster's tower." (edited)

Then she turns to the ship by the window, then looks at Violet, only to spot Nora and give her a 'really?' look. Come on, everyone knows she's into chicks.

Ren is very pretty.

Ember looked back at Violet, "Vi, how hard can you launch me to the ship?"

Foremost Soak Hater

Ren is very pretty.

Ember promptly shoves down this hindsight. He does look like a pretty woman for some reason.

10:21 AM

"Wait, I'm a fucking moron, I made this shit."

"Ember what are you planning?"

She then promptly runs to the back and pulls up the bench at the end, opening a hidden lid that revealed a fuck ton of caltrops and takes one of the bombs out, closing the lid back down and then the seat before turning to the group with a giggle.

10:24 AM

"Ever played a game called Team Fortress two?"

Ember

"Ever played a game called Team Fortress two?"

"I've never played a video game, enlighten me"

"Is It anything like Hunterswatch?"

10:25 AM

Crimson says with a little head tilt, unaware (edited)

"Hunterswatch ripped Team Fortress two off and only hid their tracks by putting in hot women!"

"Is It anything like Hunterswatch?"

"You know i was expecting a shovel talk about your sister... not this."

There's a startled yelp from Crimson at that, hair standing on end -# "Where'd that even come from?" She muttered in confusion as she shakes her head (edited)

She then giddily makes her way out of the RV, "Anyways, one of the thing in the game was to launch yourself using your explosives!" Ember yelled, as she took a little screwdriver out of her pockets and started fiddling with it for a moment.

"Miss Kali and Mr Ghira were very nice."

Foremost Soak Hater

"Miss Kali and Mr Ghira were very nice."

"I mean. So does people who wants to sell their junk. What's your point?"

10:28 AM

"Also. If you see any red head with horn. Good luck"

Ember

She then giddily makes her way out of the RV, "Anyways, one of the thing in the game was to launch yourself using your explosives!" Ember yelled, as she took a little screwdriver out of her pockets and started fiddling with it for a moment.

"Why am i not surprised that is your plan?"

Sun furrowed his brows. "Look man, you two might have had a falling out, but thats no way to speak about your own sister."

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"I mean. So does people who wants to sell their junk. What's your point?"

"Jo' you really talking about your parents like that?" Crimson frowns with disappointment (edited)

Monkey to Monkey communication. Apes apart, weak family together strong.

Violet/Garter

"Why am i not surprised that is your plan?"

"Sounds like someone knows me well then." She winked, then, there was a ping that everyone heard as the bomb in Ember's hand glowed a bright green that seemed to be getting brighter, "Anyways, I'm gonna try to rendezvous with you guys here with Ruby, see ya!"

"Aaight. Geeze. But fr tho. Goodluck with the bull"

Ember made a running start toward the edge where the ship was and then jumped, throwing the grenade below her which blew and launched her to rocket towards the ship, laughing maniacally the whole time.

"And there she goes...." Says Crimson, looking out from a window with a whistle (edited)

"And there she goes...." Says Crimson, looking out from a window with a whistle (edited)

"This is why Faunus the ones who survive horror movies" "The things humans do" Jojo sighed "Anyone else? If not we're going to the academy"

"Oh there she goes too"

Nora pouts.

10:32 AM

"Ren i want to do that too..."

10:32 AM

He sighs.

"How did we lose in the great war again?" Jojo asked the Faunus on his RV

"...Joss we won."

10:33 AM

Sun slams a palm to his face.

3

"Our island is literally called zoo"

10:34 AM

"let's be realistic here"

Crimson looks away like she totally didn't have to think about it for a moment

"Well, the faunus won the war on the ground and lost the one on the negotiations table." Sun responded.

10:34 AM

Weiss sniffed in the back.

10:35 AM

"Actually considering pre and post war Faunus rights, the war was a complete victory. Slavery was outlawed in all Kingdoms and you got your very own kingdom."

10:35 AM

She nodded.

"Ah yes. "Let's show the Faunus that we're not racist by giving them segregation" "

"It was my great great grandfather, Nicholas Schnee who argued for the Faunus to receive menagerie as their own land. The island was named as such before the first settlement was formed due to the very unique fauna living on it."

"Jo', please just drive" Crimson mumbles in exasperation Though she was getting kind of interested- No! Bad Crimson! Mission first! Weird animals later! (edited)

"Alright. I'll be racist and play victim later. Note down our conversation snow Princess" Jojo drives

Weiss makes a pointed gesture of opening the notepad app on her Scroll to note it down.

Crimson looks between Weiss and Jojo for a moment...

10:46 AM

Weiss slots in on the weapons sheet.

Crimson shakes her head no, leaning against the wall

"It can't be that hard."

11:32 AM

Ordnance is an int skill

Ember felt a MASSIVE distress somewhere in the distance.

Foremost Soak Hater

"It can't be that hard."

"I believe in you" DogO

It was, in fact. Quite easy.

11:39 AM

'Skill issue honestly.'

Jojo sees the destruction she made "Yknow, you could just drop the stick and pilot a mech if you're that good. It'll probably increase your win ratio in a fight Princess" (edited)

She huffed.

11:44 AM

"No mere machine can rival a Huntsman of my caliber."

11:45 AM

She gives him a disdainful eye.

11:45 AM

"I would rather not hobble myself with unnecessary weight."

Is that what you say when you look at your chest? Crimson banishes the thought Best not throw stones at glasshouses

Foremost Soak Hater

"I would rather not hobble myself with unnecessary weight."

Jojo raised his hands for a shrug from the steering wheel before holding it again "A girl gotta stay pretty and elegant, aaight fair nuff" "But still. Keep the idea in mind would cha? Who knows. Maybe there's gonna be a bigger grim to fight and a big mech would be fun"

She scowls. "Once i get the hang of using my Summoning, there will never be a need for a mech."

11:51 AM

A glyph spins in front of her, manifesting a small knight.

Jojo keeps his eyes on the road so all he hear is her gloat and weird sparkle noises

The small knight jumps on top of the steering wheel.

Crimson tilts her head at that, in curiosity and a bit of wonder "And all Schnee can do that?"

-# not the silver ones

Foremost Soak Hater

The small knight jumps on top of the steering wheel.

"woah!" The car swirl a little before it stabilise "Alright geeze! No mech i get it!"

"The Schnee semblance is Hereditary, we can basically do anything with our glyps by rearranging its shape and size."

She boasts.

"The Schnee semblance is Hereditary, we can basically do anything with our glyps by rearranging its shape and size."

Jojo rolled his eyes

Sun chose to wisely stay quiet in the back even as Nora recorded the whole thing.

Ren had a headache.

"This would have been a good time to know sign language, right Jo'? "

Jojo eyes got a that mischievous look He pressed the weapon safety mode secretly so that ice princess cannot shoot anything for a bit

"This would have been a good time to know sign language, right Jo'? "

He only knows one. And that's enough for him

Meanwhile from behind Beacon, the sun rises, ahead of schedule The outline of a hulking figure morphs and fluctuates before it condenses into a luminous golden outline of Yang's form- getting brighter and brighter as she ascends, sitting at the center of a glow consisting as much of burning air turned plasma as the light that radiates out from her The burning sphere sits in front of the moon for a moment, eclipsing its light for a change and brightening the world to the same degree it was blackened earlier. Her gaze pans over the world below, before she then shoots towards the dragon at hypersonic speeds, passing straight through and into the clouds of Grimm behind it https://cdn.donmai.us/sample/e4/96/__son_goku_and_yang_xiao_long_dragon_ball_and_2_more_drawn_by_naomi_gumbs_hanamimi__sample-e496b4fe8ba6aec28eb99379adecc0ef.jpg -# Super SaiYang go!

"Mhmm Mmm!" The hell was that?!?

The glyphs dissipate.

12:15 PM

"Yang?"

12:17 PM

The Corpse of the Dragon starts to crumble into grimm tar. Raining down on beacon as the city sized carcass slams into the cliff face.

Jojo focuses and hit the pedal hard and the car sped up He turns the weapon back on "Everyone be ready. Weapons at hand. We're going there"

-# "Boy I'm glad I didn't fight her" (edited)

Above the city. The Burning star began to die out. The ball of fire around the golden form shrinking by the second even as the grimm fell by the thousands.

1:39 PM

The Star pulsed in its dying breaths. Once Twice Three times did it flare out with golden flames that scorched everything in its path. Reducing grimm and atlas machine alike to mere memories. But there is always a cost to power. Every blast, every punch, every kill, drained from the golden brilliance until all that was left was a girl with dark hair and a pair of horns. Sweating bullets and clutching her racing heart inside a molten crater.

1:40 PM

Her aura wildly fluctuated, its color beginning to morph rapidly in beat to her racing heart. A calming hand rested on her shoulder as it was made to return to its normal self.

1:40 PM

1:41 PM

"Im sorry you had to push yourself so much for our sakes, Miss 'Merten."

She catches her breath as the beating slows, before grimacing "I did promise I would. On behalf the faunus, for everyone. And I already slipped up back there." She flares her aura gold, now stabilized, briefly to inspect it "What was that, what you just did? That wasn't a trick I saw from you before," she asks, her semblance not informing her of any abilities like Jaune's (edited)

He sips his coffee.

1:59 PM

"I've stabilized your soul. Normally i would say you shouldn't push yourself like that ever again, but i know the follies of youth. So I've locked your semblance to stop you from killing yourself in a foolhardy attempt to sate your savior complex."

1:59 PM

He offers her a mug.

2:00 PM

"You've done enough."

She was about to protest the decision but the smell of Ozpin's personal Legendary Brew (tm) takes a higher priority for the caffeine addict as she instead just takes the mug silently, taking a sip as she gets a look at the rest of Vale from where they stand

3

What did the Legendary Brew (TM) taste like?

Bliss, euphoria, heaven.

Victory...

Crimson searched for her partner throughout Vale, hoping that she managed to disembark the ship that now rested in waters around Beacon ....the worry gnawing at her heart doesn't stop her from trying to help when she can though ~~She was far, far too guilty not to~~ She recognized more than a few bodies as she searched for her partner ~~She feels so, so weak~~ (edited)

Ah, isnt that a familiar face.

3:10 PM

A downed goliath, missing its legs, glared at Crimson behind a cracked and broken mask.

3:12 PM

A hole the size of a grown man dug deep into the beast. Oozing with centuries old black tar.

Crimson stared in disbelief as her hair stood on end as she held her father's weapon The world seemed to slow down She stepped closer A Titan of black flesh and pale bone standing above her and her father Closer Her father, yelling at he, telling her to run and run and to never looked back She raises Grimseeker its mechanisms clicking She ran and ran before her legs gave out from underneath her Only then had she looked back The dust that fueled the pilebunker hissed into position Only then did she see her father fall under the foot of the Goliath But not before his final act Crimson's breath shuddered with an old, familiar fury the spear lodged into the titans mask with a CRACK- Grimseeker cocks back in her hand for the strike-

She Leans down, her hands cupped and Drinks

Oh that was a bad idea.

=========

1:12 PM

Crimson sluggishly opened her eyes.

1:12 PM

Whuh.

1:13 PM

Everything around her was covered in darkness. The city scape of Vale was gone, it looked like she was standing in an ankle deep lake of black ooze, backlit by a shattered moon, glowing an ominous red.

The faunus looked around for a moment, warily, ears against her head This was Something ~~She wondered if this was the underworld~~

"Oh, the coward awakens?"

1:17 PM

The ooze below her shifted and rumbled.

Who the hell- Crimson looks down at the ooze below her, debating for a moment if it'd be cowardly to get the hell out of it or just plain pragmatic

There was nothing to stand on.

1:20 PM

"Arent you such a brave little hero? Indulging in a harebrained attempt at gaining power only to become the thing you swore to destroy?"

1:21 PM

The black ooze below her shifted into a mirrory sheen, showing a reflection of Crimson, covered in grimm plating and Red Markings, her body having shifted and grown larger, an interlocked jaw with buzzsaw like teeth splitting a demonic grimm mask over her head.

1:22 PM

Her body shifted and undulated with every breath, the black oil beneath the armor panels shifting to and fro like a disgusting imitation of a heartbeat.

It was times like this where the Agenda was happy that Crimson had spontaneously retconned their Gender (edited)

The faunus tilted her head at the reflection, hair raising at the back of her neck at the sight. "I...thought it'd be worth it, after seeing how insane everything went" Crimson replied, thinking back to the Marvelous fight, to the 'Angel' ~~And oh how small she felt back then~~

"So you chose the easiest way possible like a true sniveling Coward. Your intention wasnt even to get stronger was it? You knew this had a near total mortality rate, you saw the research reports, you knew you didnt have the special abilities needed to survive the process. You simply threw your life away for a small chance at being worth something. Guess what, this changes nothing, you're dying, worthless and unloved. As you deserve."

Crimson winces at the words for a moment, looking down at the twisted reflection for a moment... Before huffing "Geeze, ya sure know how to make a girl feel appreciated" She snarks, crossing her arms defensively at the grim, twisted reflection of...herself That puts a thoughtful look on her face for a moment

"Youre not. Really im doing you a courtesy, your mind and soul are currently decomposing. Soon enough, your body will be mine. With any luck your pitiful consciousness will stay stable enough to watch me rip your friends to shreds."

Now that sends the Faunus snarling from her formerly despondent state "Like hell you will bitch" Crimson reaches out instinctively for her father's spear (edited)

Its not there.

2:08 PM

"Good effort, if futile. You've sealed your fate already. Really, what kind of moron would drink straight Grimm essence. It's a miracle you didnt die on the spot."

"A miracle, huh?" She mutters as she tries to channel her aura indignantly (it fails) "I wonder if that makes you one as well, Grimm aren't very talkative" Crimson continues, a bit of morbid curiosity briefly overtaking her outrage as she tilts her head (edited)

"Do not be mistaken, i do not necessarily wish to talk to you either. But we are stuck here until i am finished assimilating you."

Crimson nods in understanding for a moment before realising that, wait a minute, this bitch is talking about taking over her body

2:34 PM

Okay so she can't flare up her aura, she doesn't have a Spear on hand or anything "You got any other plans apart from trying to kill my friends or what" Crimson's mouth goes on autopilot for a moment as she thinks about how to get out of this mess (edited)

It pauses. "Well, might as well. I have a high and mighty queen bitch to depose."

Crimson blinks at that, ears perking up in interest

2:41 PM

"A queen?"

"Do you humans not know? There is this immortal high and mighty bitch all the way back in the spawnlands. She acts like she is the shit and keeps ordering us around. First to go will be her."

"No we really don't, first time I've heard of someone like that running around at least" Crimson says, scratching her head in confusion "How do you plan on taking her down?"

The Grimm laughs. "Imma throw her into the spawning pits, let her stew in there for a few more milennia."

"What's stopping her from swimming back out?"

"Having her body constantly and rapidly dematerialized by pure destruction. I hear it took her many milennia to recover the last time she was in there."

"Huh, you gonna sit there and wait till she comes back up to kick her back in?" Crimson asks with a tilted head (edited)

"I got time."

2:52 PM

It snorts.

2:53 PM

"Unlike you meatbags, we dont get weaker through time." (edited)

"Okay and?" Crimson leans forward, face scrunching "Like, no offense sis but that sounds boring as shit" Crimson scoffs "Like you got all the time in the world and shit, and you're letting some bitch live rent free in your head?" "Like, cmon, live a little- enjoy the little things in life"

"I enjoy eating your kind. The bone marrow is especially my favorite with the smaller ones."

Crimson twitches at that ears drooping as she gives a glare at the reflection "Right, forgot you're a grimm thing and not a particularly edgy bitch" She pauses "Then again the latter probably comes with the territory"

"Hn, perhaps."

3:05 PM

"Your psyche is quite chewy. It tastes a lot like regret and supressed emotions. I will rate the experience of eating your soul less than a 5/10."

"Wow, again, way to make a girl feel appreciated asshole" the faunus grumbled at the twisted reflection

"I do not appreciate you. Just in case the message didnt come across properly."

3:08 PM

The reflection stared back.

3:09 PM

She had slowly begun to convert, she was covered in grimm ooze and bone plating up to her knees already.

Foremost Soak Hater

She had slowly begun to convert, she was covered in grimm ooze and bone plating up to her knees already.

Oh thats not good "Gee that sure is clear now" Crimson muttered, looking down at her now plated knees Did these technically count as knee socks? The absurd thought goes through her head for a moment before Crimson shook her head (edited)

"They do not."

3:25 PM

The Grimm in her shadow grins.

3:26 PM

"Closer to leg hair than anything else actually."

Crimson squints at the puddle "Have you always been able to read my mind or is it because my legs are all boney-hairy now?" (edited)

Its up to her Waist now.

3:30 PM

"Side effect of subsuming your mind."

Another, brilliant idea goes off in the probably failing faunus's mind If she didn't have aura, then all she had to do was unlock it! Surely nothing will go wrong with this Crimson takes a deep breath, closing her eyes and steadying what felt like a racing heart beat as the solemn words flowed out of her mouth, falling into a Trance "It is in sacrifice do we achieve immortality" "Through this we become that which guards in the night, boundless in will yet in vow give us drive" "I release your soul, and by my hand..." "Raise thee"

"Hey, dont do that No seriously stop OY I SAID STOO-"

3:40 PM

The entire abyss was bathed in light, the Black goop glowing a dull crimson.

3:40 PM

It began to rapidly twitch and spike.

3:44 PM

"That was the single stupidest thing you couldve done." The now Dull Crimson goo shook. Her reflection in it slowly shifting, becoming more monstrous, changing color.

3:44 PM

"Best case scenario on your end would be killing both of us, but i guess i have to thank you for giving me a piece of your soul."

Crimson blinked at that, tilting her head "I don't have a good track record for good ideas" She says, kneeling down to pat at the goo "I have no idea where we're going with this but I'm kinda excited to find out" Crimson mock-whispered with a lil grin

Her reflection glares back as the infection progresses. (edited)

"I always did wonder what a grimm with a soul would be like" (edited)

"I will strive to be the worst person possible so that your eternal soul suffers in whatever afterlife you believe in."

3:53 PM

As Crimson became more monstrous, so too did her reflection become more human.

Crimson let out a hysterical little giggle "I'll just have to be the Best to balance you out then" (edited)

"You're a monumental pain in the ass."

"I don't do pegging" Crimson hysterical little giggle turns into laughter, light and perhaps a teeny bit insane Just a teenie tiny bit (edited)

Both somehow spontaneously felt the pain of a whiteboard blindsiding them upside the head

How the fuck-

And for once, Crimson agreed How the fuck-

The anti-horny partner bonk genre conceit was too strong to be circumvented by mere factors like time, space, or physicality. Indeed, such things stood absolute in defiance of all else. Especially when combined with the unknown whereabouts of 30+ whiteboards thrown from an airship. (edited)

As the transformation fully finished, Crimson possibly expected it to be the end.

4:04 PM

Moments passed.

4:04 PM

And then, her semblance activated.

4:05 PM

The Parasite and the Host switched places.

4:05 PM

"WHAT-"

"Oh huh"

4:05 PM

4:09 PM

"Ooooo blub blub blub I am the water ohoho" Crimson giggles before reaching out towards her arm- "I wonder if I could wake up if I-" -and pinches (edited)

It kinda hurts.

"Oh so it's not like a dream-" (edited)

Crimson in the real world suddenly wakes up and coughs out a lungfull of black tar.

The faunus continues coughing, partly in an attempt to get rid of any remaining tar and partly out of reflex

4:13 PM

Before looking around and trying to stand up, wiping her lip

A spike of pain lances out of her back, a tendril if black goo floating in front of her and forming into the face of the grimm. "I despise you."

"To be fair you were kinda killing me back there" Crimson replies, dusting herself off (edited)

"No retard, you were killing yourself, i just took advantage of the situation."

"On the one hand: yeah that was pretty dumb, on the other hand you were kinda planning on Killin my friends-" Crimson yaps back before her eyes widen "Oh shoot I need to find Azuli!"

The Grimm snarled and slammed itself back into Crimson.

4:21 PM

"Whatever."

"Let's talk later okay?" Crimson muttered to her new passenger before going off into the distance with a flash step, going back on her search for Azuli

Beacon Cliffside. Team RWBY+RN stood by the beach where their friends dissappeared. Having decided to make their way towards Vacuo by the Coast to try to find them.

2:32 PM

“Hmm” yang was still more demure from the traumatic experience of the fall, hands going for a missing hair that was no longer there

"I think we're gonna find them today!" Nora spoke up, wanting to make sure the team's spirits were up, "I just know it, heck I think I can smell some of barfboy's... Barf. Actually I don't think I want to smell it in hindsight." She shudders, still remembering the day they came to Beacon. "But I really do think we're close to 'em! I can feel it!" (edited)

‘Hang in there, Weiss... you’ve got to keep this team together.’ Weiss told herself. So much was happening, and so fast! So much death and destruction, Weiss was struggling to process it all. And by “struggling”, she mostly meant “putting it all into the back-burner (and hope the back-burner doesn’t explode from overfilling it) because otherwise there’s no way she can deal with what’s before her... They had to find Jaune and Pyrrha - and she was already convinced that this was somehow the former’s fault - as quickly and efficiently as possible. Thing was, for all of her stress, _she didn’t go through anything as traumatic as losing your most prideful part of yourself, getting maimed, or watching a close friend die before you, which is why Weiss felt like it fell upon her now to live up to her promise to Ruby, and be the best teammate this team could ever hope to have... But of course... leave it to Nora to bring in the optimism. “Let’s just get on with it.” Weiss spoke, her voice surprisingly steady, all things considered. “The sooner we find them, the better.” (edited)

Ruby forces a smile onto her face “Yeah totally, we’ve got to be close”

Weiss carefully reaches out for her team leader, putting a hand on her shoulder. "You okay, Ruby?" she asks in a low tone, concerned that her partner might be pushing herself too hard, given everything that's went down.

Waves slowly lap at the beach in front of them, the bottom of the cliff Weiss saw the duo fall while fighting the Grimm Knight.

2:50 PM

There were some aged signs of scuffle, a few torn apart trees and a crater in the side of the cliff. Any other tracks had probably been washed away by the waves.

Weiss carefully reaches out for her team leader, putting a hand on her shoulder. "You okay, Ruby?" she asks in a low tone, concerned that her partner might be pushing herself too hard, given everything that's went down.

Ruby looks up, same smile stuck on her face "Oh yeah I'm fine, just trying to think of what to do, you know leadery stuff hehe" She trails off with a small laugh

Nora seems to perk right up at the sight, sure the idea of defeat is there but her confidence for Jaune and Pyrrha was more than enough to know that they must have survived, after all, what Grimm can stand against those two? "Look guys! Clues!"

2:51 PM

2:52 PM

"I told you guys we can find those two soon!"

Weiss wasn’t convinced, but decided not to push it. Specially after what Nora shouted. “Let’s investigate the area, then.” Weiss followed, prompting the team to approach the place with the signs of recent activity. “Maybe there’s some tracks left behind.” It was a beach, after all. Footprints in the sand could have remained despite the wind and the waves...

Nora spotted a familiar color deep in the water by the cliff.

2:58 PM

"Over there!"

2:59 PM

Nora makes her way to the nearby glint of color, hoping it was going to help them if find their friends.

Weiss approached Nora, trying to figure out what she was pointing at. She couldn't quite make the shape, but... "Should I try pulling that over?" she proposed. Maybe her glyphs could do the labor easier.

It was quite deep in the water. Somebody would have to dive to get it.

"Oh! Good idea Weiss! I was about to try and fish it out with Magnhild but uh, I realized I can't really-" She looks back to the water before back to the heiress, "Reach it."

"It seems to deep..." Weiss responded, after careful examination. "Someone's gonna have to dive in."

Ren silently jumps in while the teams deliberate

"I'll get it" She says before a flurry of rose petals goes down the cliff (edited)

"...well, that takes care of that." she utters with a deadpan expression as both Ren and Ruby practically dive in simultaneously.

Ren gets splashed back out by the force of Ruby's speed, landing with a groan "That might've been on me."

2

Due to Ruby's speed she reaches the object very quickly where she briefly becomes a regular human again as she grabs it, before her and the object become a mass of rose petals again that rushes back to the rest of them (edited)

Oh thats a big wave. It seems Rubles forgot to account for the amount of velocity she would be imparting into the water in her quest to rush out.

3:09 PM

"Oh fuck..."

"HEY I DIDN'T BRING ANY SPARE CLOTHES WITH ME-"

3:13 PM

Resigned to the fate that often pursued her ever since she became a part of Team RWBY, Weiss just sighed a curse under and accepted her luck, getting splashed from head to toe, along the rest of the group, by the massive tidewave that Ruby accidentally generated....

Ruby lands on the shore holding the item aloft, unaware of what she has done "I got the thing guys-" she says before a comically large wave hits her from behind , soaking her and knocking her on her face

Nora gets splashed hard but fails to budge due to the sheer weight of Magnhild holding her down, sputtering and coughing out some water as she flicks her arms about, spitting out a small crab that somehow got into her mouth. "OH COME ON! NOW I HAVE TO WALK WITH WET SOCKS!"

3:16 PM

She does perk right back up real fast though, "Oh! Ruby! What did you get? What'dya find? Is it Jaune's armor? Is it? Is it?" She asks, shaking the dazed speedster about by her shoulders.

As the water rescinded, Weiss got up feeling like a cold, miserable wet cat (no offense to Blake or anything), quickly making a head count of the group and... trying (and failing) not to get distracted by the way the rest of the girl's clothes now hung tie to their bodies. 'Not the time to be distracted, Weiss... definitely not no-' Then realization struck her. 'Wait, how am I faring in this department!?' she wondered, looking down onto herself. (edited)

Yang and Blake looked at the incoming wave with horror before getting splashed. Yang sighed as she wrung out her jacket, menwhile, Blake held a salmon in the air like a heavenly prize.

3:17 PM

The heavens have gifted her this temporary, fresh moment of relief...

Ember

She does perk right back up real fast though, "Oh! Ruby! What did you get? What'dya find? Is it Jaune's armor? Is it? Is it?" She asks, shaking the dazed speedster about by her shoulders.

Ruby's head lulls for a second before snapping back to attention "Oh I... what is it actually?" She closely examines what she is holding

Its Acuō, Pyr's shield.

"That's... concerning..." Weiss spoke, approaching Ruby.

There is a massive gash in the shield. Nearly bisecting it.

3:27 PM

Yang clenches a shaking fist and takes a few deep breaths while Blake's ears droop.

Nora's energy seem to have stalled as she stared at that shield, the harsh bite or reality finally staggering her optimism. But not even that could stop her faith in them. It can't. It shouldn't. "That... Well they still have one more shield, right? And I'm sure Pyrrha's already missing her shield!" She chuckles, a little too awkwardly as she looks into how deep the gash was that almost split such a shield in half. "Besiiiiiiiiiiiides, that just means they must have gotten away! It didn't get through after all, now come on guys! Let's get going! They shouldn't be too far!"

"Th-they're probably ok right? I mean it's Pyrrah she can't lose..."

Weiss couldn’t help but to shiver. Was... was that because of the Grimmknight? Oh goodness... ‘Pyrrha... please be okay.’

"Yeah! Even if she dropped this it's not like she can just lose."

"Let's just continue looking." Weiss proposed. "It's no use to just sit here speculating."

"... if the rest of their weapons arent around, then that must mean they've gotten away, right? Vomit boy's sword is too heavy to get carried away by waves after all." Yang called out from behind.

"Exactly!" Weiss agreed, turning to Yang. 'Don't look at her boobs, don't look at her boobs...'

She had already used her semblance to dry off.

"Yeah!" Nora nodded, "Besides, even if Jaune did lose his, it's not like he's left defenseless, he is Vomitboy after all!" She chuckles.

She ended up looking at her boobs. 'Oh well, that's... why's that so disappointing?'

Blake chuckles. "Yeah, he might be an Idiot, but Jaune is hard to keep down. If him and Pyrrha had lost, the surroundings would be in much worse shape."

"Yeah!" Nora pumps both arms to the air, "Those two ain't going down with a fight, that's how Team JNPR works after all! Now let's get going!" She points to...

"Let's keep moving." Weiss prompted, trying to get the team to start walking. "They ought to be somewhere."

"Right, where are we uh, going next?"

Weiss looked at both sides of the beach. "Well... that way."_ She pointed to her right. "Leads to us nothing but a cliffface, and I doubt they'd try to climb that, so really..." She turned to the other side. "We can only assume they went that way."

"That way it is then!"

3:40 PM

Blake took point.

3:40 PM

"They might have gotten washed out into the open sea or gotten caught in a current. Lets just follow the shore."

Nora follows suit, "Hopefully they didn't get captured by ghost pirates! That'd be annoying to fight!" (edited)

"Yeah let's go and also Nora....would you mind putting me down?"

"There's no such thing as ghost pirates..." Weiss muttered under her breath as she joined the walk.

"Oh! Sorry."

3:42 PM

It was going to be a long while.

3:43 PM

Blake took out a surprisingly Dry map from a pocket as they walked.

3:44 PM

"There are several currents off this coast leading directly towards Vacuo, they might have washed up there or been rescued by one of the evacuation ships. We wont be able to tell until they get in scroll range."

"They're probably busy sleeping in some cave or something after that whole mess, I know I wanted to sleep like a rock earlier after last night but we can't really have that right now, especially them..."

3:49 PM

"I just hope they found a good pillow, stiff necks suck!"

"Let us hope it's something as simple as that..." Weiss shared as they walked.

"Oh! Crap, I just realized! They must be starving when we find them, how much food did we bring? I still have my emergency Rencakes AND NO I'M NOT SHARING! They can have my rations though..." (edited)

"Well we're going to find them today so it should be fine, we're definetly going to find them today"

"I have a lot of MRE's packed away in bumblebee, so we should be fine for a while."

"Ooo! Did you get the spicy mac and cheese ones? I heard those were real good!"

“Since when they do flavored MRE?”

3:56 PM

“This seem to be atlas stuff, you know dry and bland like the snow they eat all day”

"I mean, why would you get Atlas stuff if it was ass then?" Nora retorts, scratching her head, "I thought you knew what taste meant."

"It was all we could find, no shops were open in vale for... obvious reasons."

'I'm surrounded by idiots...' Weiss thought to herself. 'But they're your idiots...' (edited)

“Quick and easy just pop it up and munch it with broken teeth” (edited)

Foremost Soak Hater

"It was all we could find, no shops were open in vale for... obvious reasons."

she shrugs “and my taste is excellent, got the best weisscream around to help the flavor” an arm shooting and surrounding weiss in surprise

"We can get them something like cookies when we get back, maybe Dad can help"

"Ooo, we should totally grab Team MRVS and JAGE for a big celebratory feast when we get back! I'm sure they'd be happy to see our Fearless Leader and Pyrrha back!" (edited)

“I dunno, remember his last meal”

4:02 PM

“Think uncle Qrow was the only one to eat that charcoal”

“Maybe even show you some valkyring sights”

4:03 PM

“Hah!”

“Think uncle Qrow was the only one to eat that charcoal”

"Yeah you're right....he can hand us ingredients"

"Ooo! You guys better cook up a storm then because we're gonna be having an eating contest!"

"Ooo, we should totally grab Team MRVS and JAGE for a big celebratory feast when we get back! I'm sure they'd be happy to see our Fearless Leader and Pyrrha back!" (edited)

"Just keep Violet away from me..." Weiss uttered in a low voice. That girl might be cute but she still creeped her out...

“Awww, she isn’t so bad”

4:07 PM

“She is…intense”

Ember

"Ooo, we should totally grab Team MRVS and JAGE for a big celebratory feast when we get back! I'm sure they'd be happy to see our Fearless Leader and Pyrrha back!" (edited)

"...Jojo mentioned they were headed to Atlas, so that might be a bit hard."

"Aw come on she's not that bad! She's just... Really really weirdly focused! Wait they're what?" She turns to the cot, eyebrow raised, "What're they even gonna do there? Is Ember trying to steal Atlesian weapons and somehow convinced Joss?"

Blake blinks. "Maybe? I didnt really ask."

"... Aren't you like, siblings or something?"

She cringes.

4:10 PM

"He is adopted."

1

"... And?"

She crosses her arms and turns to the side.

4:12 PM

"...He is too annoying, okay! I didn't want to ask. Probably has something to do with the robot twins they had in their trunk anyways."

"... Why do they have the- Oh, they probably want to get those two fixed huh. I wonder if it's just Ember who actually wants to get them fixed and she somehow held Joss at gunpoint to get 'em fixed."

Before any more discussion could be held, the group stumbled upon a crashed atlas ship.

4:28 PM

Seemingly a fighter, the cockpit was completely smashed and one of the wings were missing.

"Something's here," Ren interrupts, having been observing in silence Definitely because he was a responsible individual and not because he was being played by someone in a grocery store (edited)

2

Blake scans the treeline that the fighter was crashed into.

4:30 PM

"No signs of people nearby, no blood or footprints."

Concerned at the situation, Weiss drew out her weapon, just in case.

4:32 PM

Something about this was giving her a bad feeling...

A black whisp shot past the treeline and slammed into the cockpit of the ship.

4:34 PM

"GEIST!"

Nora quickly whips out Magnhild in its grenade launcher form, ready to cave some Geist's mask in. Or... Wait... Would that be a good thing or a bad thing given how they phase through stuff? Well it does kill them, so... "Better get away from it if you don't want to get caught in the blast~!"

Ruby pulls out Crescent rose "Let's kick some butt"

Weiss twirls herself into a stance, far more dramatically than needed. "Ready!" (edited)

The old fighter began to reanimate as tendrils pulled it into a vaguely humanoid shape.

4:42 PM

"No way it's allowed to be that cool!"

Weiss is already eyeing Ruby. "Ruby, no! Now's NOT the time to think about how to build a jet that can transform into an armored suit four yourself!"

"Yeah! You can think that after we kick its butt and take its parts!" Nora chimes in.

Yang sighs as Ember Celica slides over her fists. "Oh boy, here we go again."

Alex

Weiss is already eyeing Ruby. "Ruby, no! Now's NOT the time to think about how to build a jet that can transform into an armored suit four yourself!"

"Why not?"

"Because our lives depend on us focusing on the fight, you dolt!"

It raises an arm in their direction, the wing having become a massive forearm blade. The sound of hydraulics hissing echoes out in the clearing as a full rack of missiles slides out from under its arm.

Ren reacts first, firing a hail of ice dust from Stormflower towards it to gauge its reactions. As it blocks the barrage from one gun with a wing-arm that quickly frosts over, he sends out slashes of condensed aura from the blades on the other, damaging its joints. "We need to get its limbs off first before we can hit its core," he calls out to the others present

“On it!”

"Leave it to me" Ruby calls out before she started to look less like a person and more like a blender, shredding through the remains of the arm holding the shield and shredding the weapon arm's armour before bolting behind it "Someone tag in"

Determined to live up to her promise, Weiss follows her partner’s lead, a glyph showing up over and behind her as twelve fireballs manifest thanks to her Fire Dust in her blade. She twirls around, aiming for the jet’s missile rack that Ruby had just exposed, and hoped for the best as she set fire to rain onto the Grimm... The result was even better than she had dared hope. The aforementioned rack exploded in an instant, tearing the Grimm apart! One of its bladed arms was sent flying away, crashing into the waters of the sea, while much of its torso was now a holed mess of melting metal and burning, squirming Grimm flesh... She couldn’t help but to smirk at her handiwork! “Let’s go, team!” She continued, twirling over herself again before stabbing Myrtenaster into the ground and beginning to perform a new move: Time Dilation. This was taxing her Aura, though... so she had to be selective on who she’d cast it. Blake wasn’t an option, given she was unarmed. Ren and Ruby were too far away from her right now, so... 'Yang, Nora, and myself!' Golden Glyphs showed up underneath the three of them, as time around them began to feel as if it was slower... “Let’s rip this thing apart!”

"Thanks for the boost Weiss cream!" Yang called out as she cracker her Knuckles.

She activated her semblance as whatever remained of her hair got set ablaze with golden flames, rushing in with a battle cry and pummeling the Geist, bouncing it off the ground and tearing its legs off before disengaging.

5:49 PM

"THUNDER THIGHS! SMASH IT!"

"Are we seriously going with that nickname...?" Weiss groaned... only her voice came out like that of a high-pitched munchkin due to the speed with which she was speaking now. (edited)

Blake gave her a comforting tap on the shoulder.

“Thunder tight that big bastard!”

The smell of ozone began filling the air as the area suddenly began getting darker, laughter and the crackling of thunder was the only thing heard for a moment as Nora flew, Magnhild held high for an overhead swing aimed directly for the Geist's mask.

6:01 PM

"...That's new-"

6:02 PM

Blake hissed as the lightning seared her eyes and the thunder deafened her.

"...could she always do that?"

As fast as it happened, Nora was now in the middle of a three foot deep smoking crater, giggling madly with her hair standing still. "That. Was." # "AWESOME!" (edited)

6:04 PM

There were no more trees within a 50 foot radius of the squad. Or a hundred foot radius. (edited)

Weiss took a deep breath as the half-metal, half-Grimm monster crumbled to pieces. She took a few deep breaths, trying to regain her energy (and hopefully soon enough, her Aura) after taxing herself to enable that attack.

"AGAIN AGAIN!"

"Well... that's done and over." She sighed, cringing for a moment at her own silly voice as she sheathed Myrtenaster in record speed. "That's... going to be weird for a few minutes."

"It's good to see the results of your training Nora, but please don't ask for more Grimm," Ren says, putting a hand on her shoulder (edited)

Poor blake was cradling her ears and nursing a killer headache on the side.

6:06 PM

Yang reached out a hand to help Nora climb out. "Alright gang, lets go back to searching." (edited)

Ruby looks at the crater left behind before jogging back to the group "Yeah we can't get distracted"

"Agreed." Weiss spoke, and thank goodness, her voice was returning to normal. "Let's keep moving."

"Good news is, if they're nearby, they probably heard and saw that."

"If they are nearby..." Weiss parroted, but then shook her head. "Yeah, let's hope they are..."

Yang sighed.

"It's good to see the results of your training Nora, but please don't ask for more Grimm," Ren says, putting a hand on her shoulder (edited)

Nora seems to visibly calm, though not as much as it normally have since she's still charged with pink lightning arcing all over her hair. "Yeah but like, I more meant again with the supercharging! That was so cool! Did you see me? I was all like raaaaagh and the Grimm was like- Was like- What sounds do Geists make again?"

Alex

"If they are nearby..." Weiss parroted, but then shook her head. "Yeah, let's hope they are..."

"We'll find them eventually. They have to be out there somewhere."

"OOOO GOOD IDEA! I SHOULD BLOW UP A MOUNTAIN SO THEY CAN SEE US!" Whoops, Ren accidentally let go of her for a moment it seems.

Nora seems to visibly calm, though not as much as it normally have since she's still charged with pink lightning arcing all over her hair. "Yeah but like, I more meant again with the supercharging!

6:10 PM

"Geist dont make sounds, Nora."

"Pshh, whatever, you still shoulda seen the look on its face." She waved her charged hand.

"I dont think a grimm mask can change expressions."

"Then how do you explain the lights in its eyes fading away as the Goddess." She points both thumbs to herself, simultaneously flexing her biceps, "Of THUNDER brings down the mightiest of smites, hmmm?" (edited)

Yang rolled her eyes as she reached for her scroll to check signal.

"Guys, focus!"

Nora seems to visibly calm, though not as much as it normally have since she's still charged with pink lightning arcing all over her hair. "Yeah but like, I more meant again with the supercharging! That was so cool! Did you see me? I was all like raaaaagh and the Grimm was like- Was like- What sounds do Geists make again?"

"Very cool, Nora," he responds as he gives a slight smile. "I think Geists sounds are something like... something getting hit really hard by a big hammer" (edited)

"Very cool, Nora," he responds as he gives a slight smile. "I think Geists sounds are something like... something getting hit really hard by a big hammer" (edited)

"Im getting a signal from Vomit Boy's scroll."

"My apologies Weiss, I got carried away along with my partner"

"HAH! I WAS RIGHT! SEE? REN SAID SO- You do?"

6:14 PM

"CALL HIM CALL HIM CALL HIM!"

Foremost Soak Hater

"Im getting a signal from Vomit Boy's scroll."

"Wait, really!?" Weiss spoke, approaching Yang. (edited)

Yang does, in fact, call him. It keeps ringing.

6:15 PM

Voicemail.

Having heard that, Weiss could only groan.

"Tch. Its a few Kilometers south southwest, we can make good time if we go fast." (edited)

Weiss nodded, looking over at the rest of the team. "Let's."

"... Race you all there, loser pays for the whole celebratory feast."

6:17 PM

Weiss just sighed, bringing a hand to her forehead. "Let's just... follow her."

It took a few hours but they managed to get to the location of the scroll.

6:18 PM

It was a desolate battlefield.

6:19 PM

Debris and craters littering an artificial clearing in the forest, uprooted trees creating a perimeter.

6:20 PM

There was a massive stretch of scorched earth still burning with chilling black, wispy, smokeless fire.

6:21 PM

A Grim faced Yang called Vomit boy again. The scroll began to ring where it was buried in the uprooted earth.

6:21 PM

"Damn it."

"No signs of Pyrrha's as of yet?"

Nora slowly picked up the scroll, face twisted in pure worry. (edited)

"Zero Signal from her scroll."

"We should still look around..." Weiss spoke, trying to keep morale up, even though her own expression was growing gloom. "There might be hints as to what happened?"

"Lets split up and search for any tracks."

6:24 PM

Blake suggested, though she didn't seem very believing herself.

The odindottir slowly walked towards Ren, not having taken her eyes off of Jaune's scroll, "Come on, we need to find them, Ren."

Foremost Soak Hater

Blake suggested, though she didn't seem very believing herself.

“Hmm, I can go with you partner maybe two pair of eyes are better”

Airship to Argus

7:58 AM

They were given a secret mission by Ozpin shortly after the battle of beacon. A briefcase they were told not to open, supposedly to be delivered to Atlas Military High Commander James Ironwood.

7:58 AM

It had been a few hours since they took off from Beacon, the reclamation of vale was a slowgoing process.

Violet has been making sure to hold the briefcase at all times so the others don't open it

"...are we sure we can't open it?"

Crimson softly baps his head "Do not the briefcase" the faunus scolds, ears twitching (edited)

"That was the basis of the instructions we were given so yes I am sure"

Jojo slumps on his seat. Face is dejected -# "why is it so expensive to export an RV?"

Ember is equally pained by the cost.

"Ah, yeah. You'd be stupid not to pack any. I'm not sure the RV can handle how cold it gets, frankly. How good's the insulation in this thing?"

"...all my clothes are for summer"

"We visited once due to a friend of dad's but other than that, not quite, no."

8:20 AM

"And even that was long ago."

The airship trembled as it began to break cloud cover and descend.

"Finally!'

"Welcome to Argus airspace, we will be landing in five minutes, pack your bags and make your way to the hangar bays please."

"Oh hey, I was starting to get bored..."

The intercom rumbled.

"Oh neat" the dog starts to pack up, muttering to herself as she made sure everything was in check (edited)

Violet tries to grab all of her stuff while holding the briefcase at all times "In times like this i wish I had more arms"

"don't forget about the briefcase guys" Joss says as he walks

Ember simply picked up her large backpack to put on as she put the rest of her stuff in the RV.

In a team with this many women, Silver is just glad that they aren't foisting the lifting onto him and Joss.

They could see the argus cityscape from the windows. A metropolitan city standing tall on the shore with metll walls and high tech defense emplacements, they could see the Leviathan deterrent barriers even from this high up.

"don't forget about the briefcase guys" Joss says as he walks

"Don't worry I havent" Violet says as she has refused to let go of it (edited)

The city itself, while not as big as vale, was still a great showing of a successful frontier project.

Iris briefly looks between the briefcase and the ocean. Real subtly.

Joss whistles "Neat."

Right by the shore, they could see an Atlas military base, towering above the rest of the city, built onto an island with a leading bridge.

Ahh, Atlesian Military. How I haven't missed you.

Violet makes her way of the ship after managing to get all of her stuff “Ah it’s been a while since I’ve last been here, though technically I suppose it’s still on business, just a different kind of business”

"Well, not all of them" (edited)

"I almost shoved a bar of rebar up an Atlasian's ass once when she started talking down at my work."

The ship touched down as the hangar bays opened, allowing the rust bucket to roll out onto the concrete landing pad.

"Eh, that's true to an extent. Odds are we're gonna get flack for like half a dozen things before they even recognize anything we've delivered, though."

They pass by the town square in short time, driving around a construction site, seemingly, the square is being redesigned into a park.

I see

9:03 AM

"So... Migal. You know what's inside the briefcase?"

They can spot the statues being built in the park center from the road. A familiar duo with sword and shield.

Ember frowns at the sight, "I hope they find them soon without issue. I don't like the fact that it's just them searching for the two."

Mimmi tries not to make any comment, noticing that the others seemed downcast

Iris looks at the statues silently, noticing a woman with red hair weeping at its base. She pans from that towards the military base, momentarily clenching a fist before releasing it

"Okay, everyone, hold o-"

The Soldiers begin screaming orders at them to leave the car. Mimi's words going on deaf ears.

# "YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE!"

"Silver. Can you calm your kind down?"

"Hands behind your backs! You're under arrest!"

Joss point at vi with his tail

Iris glares back

I'm gonna shut up, I'll take a temporary vow of silence in mourning of my time with goodwitch...

Crimson looks tiredly at Iris then back to Joss

"Glade, then. Explain."

"We are teams MRVS and JAGE from Beacon academy, also Mimi here who was assigned to guide us through Argus. We were instructed by Headmaster Ozpin to deliver a briefcase to General Ironwood, we were instructed to not open it so we do not know it's contents but we were told it was of high importance that it makes it there. We were given temporary hunters licences to aid in this. As for the vehicle that was designed as an anti grimm vehicle and Mr Jonquil thinks he is funny and does not know what times are appropriate to be serious"

Joss nods

Cordovin grunts.

Mimi waves at the mention of her name. (edited)

"Bring the briefcase."

10:00 AM

She pulls out her scroll to send a few messages.

10:01 AM

"I will confirm this with my superiors. Really, you pulled a stupid stunt there, i cant believe such an important mission was left for some wet behind the ears kids..."

Crimson visibly resists the urge to throttle the FUCKING MONKEY

Violet bows her head "I apologise for the actions of my compatriots"

Joss trying his best to ignore the stares behind his head

Ember was shaking from bloodlust.

10:02 AM

Man, my team is so unchill

She really wants to maim her leader right now.

I am gonna miss the RV, though.

10:02 AM

"Do we get our RV back?"

10:02 AM

"Is it to late to apologise?" Americaya

Crimson stares at Joss Jonquil

The tinker looks at Cordovan with dread as she awaits her answer regarding the RV.

"The RV was disassembled by the Anti Explosive squadron, it's parts have been sent to the junkyard." (edited)

10:04 AM

Cordovin offhandedly comments.

".... Ah. Can we at least... Get those stuff back?"

"I will confirm this with my superiors. Really, you pulled a stupid stunt there, i cant believe such an important mission was left for some wet behind the ears kids..."

Violet winces subtly that it was opened (edited)

Iris takes a peek NinjaWat

Ember was now back to visibly shaking with rage, holding herself back from crashing out.

Cordovin grabs the golden crown inside the briefcase and inspects it.

... some crown? All these keruffle for some shiny object?

"Now, i dont know why Ozpin would send a Crown to the General, however, if it gets approved i'll let you be on your way."

I wanna be the king...

"with the RV right?"

Demonic side eye.

10:11 AM

"Now, i dont know why Ozpin would send a Crown to the General, however, if it gets approved i'll let you be on your way."

"Thank you very much"

"That RV also helps save beacon. So it's national treasure" Katbimnzness

Cordovin puts the crown in its nesting spot and clicks the briefcase shut.

10:13 AM

"There is one thing i am quite curious about though."

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"That RV also helps save beacon. So it's national treasure" Katbimnzness

"Joss, just shut the fuck up"

Cordovin looks over the group, ignoring the idiots.

Cordovin looks over the group, ignoring the idiots.

So she just looks at Violet?

"Why were Mirage and Virgil Pollendina inside your vehicles trunk?"

"During the attack on Beacon where Atlas military was hacked, they turned their fire on huntsmen and civilians, they were disabled and so we were to bring them to Dr Polendina to be fixed"

Cordovin doesnt seem to believe it, however, she gets cut off by a call before she can retort.

Ember manages to restrain herself and scratches her heaed, "I... Tried to bring them back. I just can't. Dr. Polendina's work was like trying to decipher a legendary piece of art..." She says, more solemnly.

"I will be back."

"so..."

She leaves along with her retinue.

Ember cracks her knuckles.

Ember manages to restrain herself and scratches her heaed, "I... Tried to bring them back. I just can't. Dr. Polendina's work was like trying to decipher a legendary piece of art..." She says, more solemnly.

"You repaired those?" Iris hisses at her after the general is gone

"I'm sure everything will be fineee"

10:19 AM

"Just another goofy episode for the gangs. Right?"

"I tried but after the last time they got merked I didn't bother." She retorts with her own hiss.

"Then why didn't you let me dust them???" (edited)

"Because it's still murder given how those two had souls."

"Do they tho?"

"Something I'm really regretting right now." She says through gritted teeth.

"You guys..."

10:21 AM

"Still better than doing essays for Port." Americaya

Violet keeps her eyes on the briefcase in the guard's hands, partially to avoid looking at her teammates (edited)

Ember

"Because it's still murder given how those two had souls."

"Murder is going to be what happens if those military prototypes get back into the hands of a racist military that removed countless souls from Vale. How many citizens do you think they killed? How many more will they after they're improved?"

Joss looks at the guards "Soo...this happens often?"

Mimi inches closer to Violet, sensing the most responsible person among the group.

金牛

"Murder is going to be what happens if those military prototypes get back into the hands of a racist military that removed countless souls from Vale. How many citizens do you think they killed? How many more will they after they're improved?"

"Murder is going to be what happens if those military prototypes get back into the hands of a racist military that removed countless souls from Vale. How many citizens do you think they killed? How many more will they after they're improved?"

10:23 AM

She closes her eyes and straightens herself out as she took a deep, shaky breath. (edited)

10:24 AM

"None of this wouldn't have happened if the driver ACTUALLY HAD A FUNCTIONING BRAIN!"

One of the guards coughed.

"Your battleship shot at me"

Ember

"None of this wouldn't have happened if the driver ACTUALLY HAD A FUNCTIONING BRAIN!"

"Yknow. I shouldn't be surprised that the RV is gone. It's a common pattern in my life that i should expect it " Americaya

She is now crashing out.

10:25 AM

Ember

She is now crashing out.

Joss Remind her that hes the unarmed teacher of the team

Ember gets up with gritted teeth before blanching at the sight of...

10:37 AM

"... Goddamnit."

Oops there goes Crimson

She looks at 'Baja' for their remark before everything seemingly goes worse than she could imagine.

"Blood is on your hands." Ember points at the monkey.

"This is not the fun wacky adventure that i thought it might be"

"GRAB EM-"

Violet's eyes are dead inside

Iris is just flabbergasted

The freed Grimm instantly roars, swapping places with the guard holding the briefcase and kicking the other one into a wall.

10:39 AM

It rips the briefcase into two before...

10:39 AM

Ember crashes into the guard with a grunt, scrambling to get up and slamming herself at the door.

10:39 AM

"... Headmaster is gonna kill me."

"why...."

金牛

Iris is just flabbergasted

The buildup to the crashout is completely gone as she just watches that happen in complete bafflement "Guard, did we get drugged or do you see this too" iris_absolute_shock

The Disoriented guard inside the cell gurnts and presses a quick sequence on his scroll as alarms begin to echo.

10:41 AM

"I hate my job..."

Ember falls onto her ass and just stares at the ground.

Foremost Soak Hater

"I hate my job..."

"I hate today"

# GRIMM IN THE BASE

10:42 AM

Today is not a good day

The aspiring weaponsmith slowly gets up and just kinda shuffles towards the bench in a corner, taking a seat and leaning on the wall as she relaxes, rubbing her forehead.

"Actually I think I'm gonna be a model prisoner," Iris says, shuffling where she sits to get more comfortable. 'Maybe team RWBY would have broken the rules to bust out and fight the Grimm but I think I will just stay far away from whatever is going on here'

"Not a single thing in here is worth anything I do..." She grumbled, crossing her arms.

10:46 AM

Ember is spiralling. What if I...

"I don't even know what's going on anymore"

Silver reaches out, and his aura flickers violently as it's almost entirely used in an instant, to [Normalize] Ember.

Mimi starts making mental notes of everyone and every event that occured. The report is going to be hideous to their superiors, getting comfortable here starts to sound better than other options she could do.

10:49 AM

Atlas people...

The sounds of Gunfire and Explosions echo throughout the facility. At some point the ground begins rumbling in a familiar pattern of a giant walking.

"Hm."

The Southern Fool...

Silver reaches out, and his aura flickers violently as it's almost entirely used in an instant, to [Normalize] Ember.

Well, didn't do anything. Unfortunate.

The ground shook once again as the loud stomping became more and more distant.

Mimi looks at the guard who swapped places with the running escapee. "Don't you have to help?"

Joss stood there for a while before slapping both of his cheeks(which one? I let you decide)

The guard groaned.

"We need to get our weapon"

"Yeah, no, im not gonna let you out even if i have to stay here with you."

9:24 AM

Ember blinks out of her annoyed state as she realizes something. 'Hey wait a minute... Those assholes have my weapons...' (edited)

9:24 AM

She turns to the guard.

9:25 AM

9:25 AM

"Stay back-"

9:25 AM

She grabs the guard by the collar and proceeds to instantly shatter his Aura on contact.

She tries to press on, peeking beside Ember's figure as she does her very peaceful coercion. "Are you sure? The damages might come out of your paycheck, y'know, for allowing this to happen."

"You are going to tell me where my weapons are or you're gonna have a lot of issues with being able to use your privates."

9:26 AM

"..."

9:29 AM

"...no?"

9:30 AM

"Alright, I am going to make your ability to hold your piss disappear by completely paralyzing your lower half."

"She will do it you know. She's a lesbian. So listen to her"

The guard who is still outside wheezes as he gathers himself off the floor. "...Assault on a military officer and threat of bodily harm have been added to your charges." (edited)

She turns to the man.

9:32 AM

Violet breaks her stunned silence and says with a dead expression "Ember dust the bars"

Shinigami/Azuli Lapipielle started a thread. 2025-02-15 9:32 AM

"No it's not." She says as she lets go of the guard and walks towards the one outside, the door turning into dust as she came into contact.

9:32 AM

Mimi sighs, well that's that.

"..."

9:33 AM

The guard trains a shaking gun on her. 'I fucking hate kids with superpowers.'

Though... Sounds like the fun finally begins.

9:33 AM

"Race you to the weapons room!"

Joss looks at the guard "So is my RV really gone or yall lied about dismantling it?"

Foremost Soak Hater

"Race you to the weapons room!"

"So you know where to find it?"

9:36 AM

"No..."

The only armed guard fires a few warning shots at Ember.

9:38 AM

They all missed, I just wanted that gif cause the walk has the vibes I want. (edited)

9:45 AM

One bad touch and the man's bones in his hands and his feet up to his knees disappeared. It would have been painless if it wasn't for the fact that he was now no longer able to support his weight. "I don't quite get it, I had been so kind, so polite, is it always so much to ask for the simplest things?" She rambled, dragging the limp man's body into the cell while staring down the first guard.

The man was too busy screaming in pain.

She tosses the limp body towards the guard on the floor, crouching down to get a very close look into his eyes.

9:50 AM

"Now, one more time. Where's. My. Weapons?"

'What the fuck is this Adam shit I'm seeing right now' NinjaWat

'Well, as long as I stand here silently til I can grab my weapon, none of this is my fault' Iris decides to look away (edited)

-# Oh no he doesn't know about azuli's gore fetish

The very indignant man proceeds to feel his bones begin to crack and melt into dust slowly but surely, beginning from the extremities as it makes its way towards the man's body. "Come on man, it doesn't have to be as gruesome. Just tell me where it is and everything would be right as rain. We literally have a stupid Grimm consumed dog to take care of soon and I would appreciate," the man suddenly felt his limbs' muscles begin to physically unwind as if to emphasize. "cooperation."

“I’m going to find the evidence lockup myself” Violet says as she walks away from the torture session

Mimi uncomfortably shifts before following after Violet, the only person she trusts wholly not to kill her in this group.

"Yeah I'm just gonna... bye!"

Joss took a deep breaths and becomes serious "Ember that's enough. They won't talk. You're just torturing them at this point"

He seems to be getting ignored as if she couldn't hear him. No seriously, she can't, these guys are screaming too much, but she does relent seeing how fruitless it is.

9:59 AM

She sighs.

9:59 AM

"The things I'm forced to do."

10:00 AM

She proceeds to heal them only to blink as she no longer sensed a pulse on the other one.

10:00 AM

"Oh... Shock."

10:00 AM

Unfortunately, she seems to have lost the ability to give a shit.

Joss tries to grab her shoulder before retracting He backs away before going to where the rest of the girls went

"Oh well, looks like you're getting better at least!" She says to the survivor, making sure he never becomes able to communicate but is at least fully healed. Only to then hesitate for a moment.

The other one has stopped screaming as well, only making wet gargling noises. (edited)

"Oh shit, I have a better idea, hey wanna get a new life away from this bull- Ah crap you're drowning. I'll just give you the package deal, no one would ever believe you anyways." (edited)

And just like that, he was now a she. Albeit a mute one.

"Tada!" She goes to repair the corpse to make sure there's no true evidence of her Semblance before making her way to the doorframe, returning the door to normal.

10:09 AM

"It's here!"

Ember perks up pretty damn fast after leaving the cell and locking it. (edited)

10:09 AM

"MY BABIES-"

Joss quite visible schooch away from the murder hobo

Mimi immediately zooms over and puts her stuff on her person. "Aah~ it felt like I was declawed without this by me~"

The smith quickly grabs her gear and hugs it for a moment before putting them on and looking around to find her bag.

Grimseeker is also there, just hanging off a rack

Violet picks up her axes and Crimson’s weapons “I’m going after that Grimm”

"Oh, we should probably grab that- Ah you got it. Yeah I'm coming with."

Iris picks up her weapon and looks meaningfully between it and Ember before a second before deciding against it "You guys have fun, I'm just gonna go" She's not fighting for the soldiers that put her in another Atlesian prison after seeing a faunus (edited)

Joss wears [narcissist bloom] and prepare himself

Ember then finds her backpack, picking it up so she can have the remaining stuff she has at least.

"I... don't even know what we sepose to do now..."

"Hey wait for me Vi-"

Joss looks at the Catgirl. "What are you gonna do now?"

She stands there awkwardly. "I've been asked to assist this group with your objectives but looking back..."

10:17 AM

"I'm not so sure anymore."

10:17 AM

"Hmm."

"I swear to brother gods. My team wasn't like this... something messing with their mind." "That's probably it"

-# "Headmaster can be so cruel though..."

"Look. You can leave. But We need you right now. You're the only one who knows this place"

10:18 AM

"please"

"I do?"

-# "Mimi do you know how to pilot an airship?"

Mimi / Camillia / Emily

"I do?"

"Yes. I don't know how important that crown is. But im sensing bad mojo if we don't retrieve it and Crimson"

She peeks out of the room, looking into the corridor. "I think we can just follow the wreckage left behind."

"So Vi! What's the plan chief?" She asks, fiddling with her weapons to make sure they're a snug fit.

“Find the Grimm and tear the crown out of it, you can heal Miss Gerhart afterwards”

"Gotcha! How close can you get me from touching them?"

10:24 AM

"I highly doubt that that Grimm has her Aura, so it won't be much to vaporize it from her system, though in hindsight I probably should have done so in her sleep."

“Depends on what it’s doing, based on the quakes it is either in a giant piece of machinery or fighting one, worst comes to worst i can throw you if my semblance decides to activate”

"Here's hoping it doesn't have anything that can swat me." She snorts.

Joss looks at the trail and back to Iris and Mimi Now matter how dangerous his team are...he still is their leader. So he flash steps towards the trail to catch up to his partner and Violet

"Oh hey, for once someone has a spine." She comments with a chuckle. (edited)

Joss keeps quiet. And thinking happy thoughts He thinks that both Crimson and Ember are currently corrupted by something. And it all started by arguments. So he thinks being negative will make him corrupted too

-# I've been asked but, they're not- well it was justified, was it really- but headmaster will- they could just- was this right? GAH! Mimi groans and decides to follow through with the job.

10:30 AM

She bows before Iris, bidding her a friendly farewell before catching up with the others.

Once they FINALLY got out and towards their target, they found... "Hey... Is that... Azuli?" Ember points out, literally pointing at the woman in the sky fighting for her life.

"Good we have extra backup"

Okay... Something weird is going on here "Since when she can fly?"

"I don't think she's doing that hot neither. Come on!"

Azuli was in the process of backing off a bit as the group appeared, holding a sign as she stared at the fairly annoying to fight Grimmson

"Wow! A friend of yours?"

Ember waves for her to come closer, obviously wanting to whisper.

10:47 AM

"Ye, she's Azuli, I call her Azzy." She turns to the mentioned woman, "HEY WE HAVE A NEW FRIEND HERE! HER NAME IS MIMI!"

She blinked as she looked over, quickly moving over near the group

Ember leans in to whisper, -# "Yeah uh, we were delivering an artifact that she ate as a Grimm so there's that." (edited)

Grimmson teleports one of the Mecha's arms over its head, shearing the joint in the process.

"Mess. Huge one. We need to save Crim from that thing possessing him"

"I need to touch that thing infecting her so I can vaporize it out of her system."

10:50 AM

"But seeing as you are having trouble I don't think that's even possible."

Wait VIOLET HAS GRIMMSEEKER Instinctively, the dog not in the drivers seat tries to reach out to her most precious belonging, to jump and take hold of it- (edited)

The Spear teleports into the Grimm's hand just in time.

10:53 AM

There is a massive burst of steam as the pilebunker smashes through the reinforced cockpit of the Mecha.

Ember blinks.

10:53 AM

"Hey.... I kinda want that mech."

Violet looks towards the rampaging relic snatcher and after all of today's bullshit the wheels in her eyes start to spin, and spin and spin until they turn into a solid mass of molten gold. The gold leaks from her eyes and defying gravity floats upwards above her head manifesting into a wheel halo, leaving her eyes unusually dull "I'm done with today" before she bolts towards the Grimm with axes at the ready

10:55 AM

"HOW COME EVERYONE GETS TO HAVE FUNNY MOVEMENT OPTIONS AND I'M JUST FORCED TO WALK???"

The cat faunus stretches.

Azuli paused, taking in the new group. With this she had somewhat of an idea

"Tell me what I can do to help! I've been itching for some action in a while." (edited)

Commander Cordovin's lifeless corpse gets flung out of the cockpit with a spray of blood.

"DO IT, I WANNA WITNESS ULTRASONIC SPEEDS!"

The Mecha began to tip over as Grimmson flash stepped off of its face, leaping into the hangar to disable a bullhead.

Azuli promptly grabbed Ember and threw her before blinking over to the left of Grimmson, cloaking the area in Fire as she attempted to close off one of their escape routes, smouldering the Mech as well (edited)

Grimmson swapped with a soldier.

"Wait-"

Atlas war- "Oh boi.... big guns are here"

11:10 AM

This could not get any worse

Ember slowly crawls out of the new crater covered in blood and dirt.

11:10 AM

Joss is currently using his shield as the barrage of guns hitting him "I'M TRYING TO HELP!"

Azuli was beginning to think that some people had not fully conveyed what she had missed

Ember

She looks at the long red smear on the ground and then onto herself. "Damn..."

The Grimm continues to rampage through the Military base, setting off Dust supplies, crippling their Mechanized squadrons and destroying their vehicles.

Ember wipes some of the blood and dirt off of her face as she thinks to herself what she can do for a hopeless situation like this one.

Mimi occasionally rests from time to time, letting her zoomies cool down to avoid being consumed by it before continuing with another set of slashes that never land.

She blinks, then starts waving to Azuli, "HEY AZZY!" She calls, waving for her to come close.

Joss trying his best between shielding from bullets and shielding the soldiers from the explosions

The Grimm stands atop the carcass of the mecha, amidst a shattered military base, and Roars.

She blinks, then starts waving to Azuli, "HEY AZZY!" She calls, waving for her to come close.

"Hey! Did you ever pay attention to Dust Casting? I think one of Iris' spells were capable of pulling a Schnee and just pausing someone in place, I don't think Iris' spells are working because of the artifact, but you seem to be able to do something more significant given how you're all..."

"Crap... Oh shit- You might wanna get her to me asap." She says, pointing at the tweaking huntress.

The Mecha's core finally melts down.

"Uh... should we run?"

"I'm just gonna..." Ember slowly crawls back into the deep crater that came from her being yote at Mach 5 for cover. (edited)

Once the coast was clear, Ember emerges from her crater, removing the blood and dirt all over her with the help of her Semblance, going back to squeaky clean in a snap of her fingers.

Joss raised both of his hands and look towards the remaining guards "Don't want any trouble. So let's just calm down"

Crimson stares out at everything blankly for a long, long moment Registering everything that went down

Vi sees where Crimson was blasted to and makes her way there as fast as her adapted self can

Seeing the mess, Ember casually just fucks off, making her way to where the Grimm infected Huntress crashed to.

Joss raised both of his hands and look towards the remaining guards "Don't want any trouble. So let's just calm down"

The beaten and bruised guards level their weapons at the group, or whoever remains anyway.

... she's giving it to Sienna

... but then again, she still had some faith in Ozpin, as much as he apparently showed her by sending here at all, and if the White Fang was still around while he had this then he couldn't have been the worst caretaker for it And with that a scary ticking noise in the background goes away 'There's no way this thing is getting to Ironwood though. Sorry headmaster,' she thinks as she stows it away (edited)

"SURRENDER AND YOUR SENTENCING WILL BE LIGHT TERRORISTS!"

Joss sighed but still complying

"Crim! Hope you're holding up well buddy." She says, running for the airborne ship. (edited)

"The crown.did something to Crimson....and Ember" "I don't know how. But...well. shit escalated after the guards imprisoned us"

"We'll take you in for questioning as well."

Ember then leaps for the ship, using her scabbard's recoil to propel her further towards it.

Azuli was very fucking confused, what with coming from the airship, trying to assist their soldiers against a Grimm, then immediately getting called a terrorist

"I'll explain it fully later. Let's just comply with the guards. Too many deaths in one day"

11:45 AM

She was a bit confused but obliged, though not before checking up on Crimson

Ember attempts to call Azuli midair for some help.

The City was in disarray after the latest bout of explosions, the information of an attack on the Military Base could no longer be surpressed. To top it off, the last Shriek of triumphant rage from the Grimmson had echoed unnaturally across the city, causing mass hysteria and panic of a Grimm attack. This mass of broiling emotions would be a self fulfilling propechy.

12:09 PM

The Ocean began to churn as Aquatic grimm rushed past the downed shields of the bay, landlocked grimm throwing themselves at the city walls even as a pod of leviathans approached from the deep oceans.

Oh hey, would you look at that, it's raining cats and dogs Two faunus jump out from a ship above, falling towards the city (edited)

Not really wanting to deal with the awful military- Or what's left of it anyways- Ember attempted to follow the two airborne Faunus, hoping to at least rendevouz with them.

Joss clenching his fist. First beacon and now here He can't just leave. He needs to help evacuate (edited)

5:36 PM

They had trodden through the unforgiving frontiers of Sanus for weeks, checking every settlement, every nook and cranny, sailing out to sea in order to parse the islands. Ruby was trying to stay optimistic but it was obvious everyone was losing hope, Weiss hadn't had a cranky comment for five days, Yang had stopped joking, Nora was quieter than usual. They were on their way to Vacuo now, hopefully they would find Jaune and Pyrrha there…

5:36 PM

The desert around vacuo was proving very hard to traverse, the grimm were nesting under the dunes, waiting to grab any unsuspecting traveller and make quick work of them, Weiss had already started to get sunburnt so Ren had given her his overcoat. “Ugh, i hate this heat, we should have flagged down that airship while we had the chance…” She was getting cranky again, that was a good sign, right? “Come on Weiss! You know we have to go on foot. What if we flew over them without noticing?” Weiss sighed. “You know, Ruby, maybe it's ti-” Nora spoke up without her usual cheer. “They're out there… Pyr and Fearless leader won't die from something like this!” Her voice sounded shaky and wet despite trying to project some sort of cheer. Ren moved over to put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. Weiss slumped while Yang sighed. “We've checked basically all of Sanus, so they're either at Vacuo or somewhere else, we'll just keep looking.” Blake was… done abandoning friends, she knew it was a hopeless effort, but she couldn't bring herself to give up searching.

5:37 PM

They had finally arrived, after several days of trekking through grueling desert sands and sneaking their way past hordes of grimm. The Gates of the City of Vacuo stood tall in front of them. “HALT! WHO GOES THERE!” The gate guards called out from their post above the walls as the group of colorfully dressed teens approached the gate. Yang decided to step forward and speak for the team. “We're Huntsmen from beacon!” The guards seemed apprehensive at first as they spoke to each other in hushed voices. The group waited for a few minutes before the gate began to open, a pair of soldiers ushering them in. The travel weary teens did not need to be told twice.

5:37 PM

“Students from Beacon huh? To think you walked all the way over here from Vale…” The headmaster of Shade Academy seemed deep in thought for a few moments. “I'll put out a search notification for your friends, but I'm afraid that's all I can really do.” Ruby shook her head. “It's okay, really, thanks for helping us out.” The old man across from her sighed and got up from his desk, pacing about his office and coming to stand in front of the windows. “Ever since the incident during the Vytal festival, people have been on edge, grimm attacks are on the rise and dust is in short supply.” Ruby didn't exactly know where he was going with this explanation but she didn't really have a reason to stop him. “I'm happy to learn that Beacon is doing well. With Oz's efforts, Vale should be fixed in a matter of months. However, the world has become a lot more dangerous with the fall of the CCT, without Atlas’ technology, it will be hard to repair it.” The old man scratched at his head in frustration. “Take a few days off to rest with your team, I'll arrange for lodgings while we wait for news about your missing friends.” Ruby nodded at the headmaster. “Thank you for the support, headmaster Theodore…” The man reached for a cup of coffee in response, watching the crow sitting on the branch right outside his window.

5:38 PM

The invasion came suddenly and unexpectedly, a fleet of Atlas Warships, led by a duo of Motherships, slowly flying in from the horizon. Their first warning was issued hours before the attack, all communication equipment being used as a relay to spread Ironwood's message. Surrender unconditionally or be brought to heel. Weiss was still catatonic with shock until the first artillery shell hit Shade Academy's shields. The ships deployed an Armada of Atlesian Robots and Knights, seemingly planning on taking the city with as little collateral as possible. Huntmaster Theodore was busy arranging the Huntsmen and the Militia to mount a defense so the group of Beacon students were left to themselves. “We can't win! That's an Army! We need to get out of here and keep looking for Jaune and Pyrrha!” Blake tried to argue with her friends even as they suited up to try and help with the defense. Yang clenched a shaking fist and sighed, running her fingers through her massively shortened hair. “We can't let them do as they please Blake. The huntsmen from shade helped us defend Vale, we cant let them down like this.” Nora nodded as she hefted Manghild, Ren close behind her. “Fearless Leader and Pyrrha would never forgive us if we refused to help them!” “Yeah!” Ruby was still doing her best to stay optimistic but it was looking dimmer and dimmer. “What about Weiss? They're her people! Do you expect her to fight them too?” Blake really did not want to fight an Atlas airfleet, however, her rhetoric got shot down as Weiss entered the room. She looked shaken and disturbed, with a deathgrip on Myrtenaster. “I don't know if it's really Ironwood or if someone like Cinder is trying to cause chaos again… But whether they're my people or not doesn't matter when they're committing a blatant atrocity! As a Huntress I cannot let this stand despite my feelings on this matter!” Blake clenched her fists and took deep breaths. “UGH THIS IS SO STUPID! FINE! I GUESS WE'RE DOING THIS!”

5:38 PM

The Defense was not going well, there were too many Atlesian robots and the chaos had drawn too many Grimm. The Vacuo Militia and Huntsmen were getting overrun. Weiss leaned on a pillar for support as she tried to regain her breath, several destroyed Paladins behind her. Ruby was up ahead, turning a Horde of Grimm into mincemeat. Nora and Ren had split off to defend the Civilian Evacuations while Yang and Blake had gone to the breach to thin the Herd coming through the holes in the walls. Weiss was starting to think this was a futile effort as the motherships kept deploying more and more robots, using their cannons to provide fire support at the same time. With the way things were going, Vacuo wouldn't last for much longer, they needed to take the offensive as soon as possible… Weiss took a deep breath and glared at the massive warmachines floating just out of the city's artillery range. She flourished her rapier and dug deeper than she ever had into her Aura reserves. A Glyph the size of a Bus appeared in front of her, but it wasn't enough, so she simply fed it more power as it kept growing and growing. Her vision began to go dim as the Glyph finally reached the size she needed it to get to, nearly as large as Beacon's Main Tower… That was about all Weiss had as she passed out, the last thing she saw was a storm of rose petals coming her way. The Titanic Grimm Dragon breathed fire onto the incoming hordes of Monsters and Machines, melting them and the sand beneath them into slag and creating a moat of lava to deter their approach. The Dragon kept flying, tackling one of the flagships while ignoring any and all attacks from the warships. The flagship was torn to shreds in moments, getting its innards exposed and then filled with liquid fire. The Dragon turned around to take out the other ship, managing to crack its citadel and destabilize its reactor moments before a Humanoid figure in black armor leaped onto it, dispelling the Summon through some manner of attack. The Remaining fleet retreated as the Huntsmen got to clearing the city of Grimm.

5:39 PM

Huntmaster Theodore was on his Knees in front of the Beacon Students, Weiss had finally woken up from her aura depletion. “I cannot thank you enough for the help you've shown. Without your group's efforts, I am ashamed to say that Vacuo would have fallen…” Weiss shook her head as Nora helped her out of bed. “It's the least we could do, we're Huntsmen as well after all.” The Heiress smiled at the aged Professor as the man barked out a laugh and got on his feet. “Hm, indeed you are. All of you.” He massaged his brows, seemingly in thought. “Alright, you guys were looking for some missing friends right? While I cannot directly help other than keeping an eye out for them, I can at least make your jobs easier. If you would stay for a few more days, I will have official Huntsmen licenses keyed to your Auras so that your travels may go easier.” The group of first year students were shocked into silence. A crow choked and slammed into the window of the infirmary. “””HUH-””” ””REALLY?”” “Thank you.” The old man held back a wry smile at the reactions from the children. “You've earned it after all.”

The City of Argus was engulfed in panic, Civillians rushing to underground bunkers in massive droves, an uncontrolled mob of people flowing down the city streets in chaos.

8:20 AM

The Situation seemed quite dire, airborne Grimm were beginning to overwhelm the city Anti Air defences by sheer virtue of mass. The Coastal shielding was failing as the herd of leviathans began to slam into it, the massive hardlight walls flickering in and out of existence even as the massive grimm's flesh burned. The ramparts of the city walls were being slowly taken over as beowulves climbed and clambered over each others bodies to lash out at the city's defenders.

Joss tries his best to save as many people as possible Lappdespair

The civillians, though panicked and fumbling, seemingly knew the placements of the closest shelters.

Mimi's mouth forms an 'o' as she watches the incoming horde of grimm. Oh how she thought this was just a simple errand duty of sticking with some younger years, she thought severely wrong.

8:38 AM

Trying to minimize casualty, she uses her breakneck speed to deliver straggling civilians to safer places starting with those nearest to being in contact with the unwelcome first comers.

Joss felt the difference of his combat capability between before beacon and now Taking out the Beowulf quite efficiently He jump up, Kick back, whip around and spin around with agile

Crimson reloaded Grimseeker's piledriver as she landed, wincing as she took in the chaos caused by her...roommate's joyride Okay so, she didn't have the range to take care of the flying grimm, and Grimmseeker only has so much dust for the Leviathans... Then again, maybe regrouping is best too- Crimson interrupts herself from overthinking- "Where'd you think we should go first Iris?" -by asking the nearest team leader (edited)

You still think you can change anything? Will you be able to face them, knowing the deaths of so many people are the consequences of your own actions?

The least I can do is try to fix it Crimson's grip on Grimseeker tightens

Iris's lips press into a line as it sinks in just how much the situation has decayed "If we keep the walls up this'll be a lot more manageable." "You should only go if you don't think you'll have another incident though."

Crimson's head is still aching from the effort of holding control of his own body.

The dog faunus grimaces at that, rubbing at her temple "Might be best if I try to intercept some at the forest then, head's pounding from keeping control" (edited)

Meanwhile, the entire group received a picture of the Leviathan Pod breeching the coastal defenses, alongside the Atlas Commander's requests statement regarding it ["Walls are holding for now, we have more pressing concerns"] (edited)

"See for yourself" Joss show her his scroll

There was an assumption that Mimi got added to the groupchat upon landing and joining the RV squad, such that she could receive important informational updates. That and the Monkey would never deny her the memes

"Bunker will not help the civilians. They need to leave Argus"

Crimson immediately starts going towards the coastal defenses, chaining flash steps and leaps towards the Leviathans

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"See for yourself" Joss show her his scroll

She quickly looks over the data and groans. "They won't make it, there's too many of them in such a small amount of time."

"So the only way to save them is killing the Leviathans?" Sigh "Not the first leviathan we fought. But if this one's turns into another hag. I swear to Oum I'm gonna hurt someone"

Mimi decides not to question that, she's seen enough shenanigans from this ragtag group from Beacon.

"Let's go" Joss flash steps towards the costal. Assuming he's gonna meet his team there

Iris receives Azuli's message as she's on her way to the walls, turning around to look at the Leviathans and seeing the glowing maiden fly over to help. Does she still have a way to fly that far- Oh wait -# "My dragon!" iris_absolute_shock

The City streets are covered in people trying to make their way to safety. Fortunately at least, the only grimm who had so far made landfall in the city were small nevermore. Even then, in sufficient numbers, they would become dangerous. Joss could see several people taking bats to the agressive birds.

Everyone… even Joss Jonquil himself… once believed that his Semblance, "Eye for an Eye Makes the World Blind," was merely a reflection of his nature… A power that turned away attacks, just as he turned away burdens… A force that deflected harm, just as he deflected connections… But… The first time Joss used his Semblance… It was not to avoid… Not to reject… But to protect. And now—when mere parrying is no longer enough… Joss reaches beyond the limits he once knew. His soul ignites. And his Semblance becomes—

"Ho-" "Ly" "SHIT!" the Josses exclaimed as they split into three. But then quickly came to their senses. They all split path and takes care of the Nasty Birds. After a while they all run towards the costal again, recombining into one "That was trippy"

Reconvening at the coast, the group could see Azuli having recently arrived, cloaked in a potent amount of heat and flames from her defense of the walls

Coming from the forest everyone can see a purple and golden blur rocket towards the leviathan pod

Accompanied by an equally unhinged laughter of course.

In a similar fashion, Mimi swoops in with her pulse engine emitting steam.

Azuli picked one of her own, a potent aura of flames and power still blazing around her as she planted her fist in the side of a Leviathan's head, a resounding cracking noise ringing out as she began to tear into it with an immense force

Crimson's spear flies towards a Leviathan before the dog faunus teleports right next to it slamming the spear into it as she descends with a loud hiss of dust and a- # KUR-CLUNK (edited)

The purple and gold blur lands on a leviathan with a boom before revealing Violet brimming with power with Ember on her back, before she takes both axes and brings them down on it's head with an all mighty boom, letting out shockwaves on all sides (edited)

The Leviathans all react to the incoming huntsmen. The one set on fire by azuli reacts with a beam of pressurized water while the one crimson teleported to screeches at the hole dug into its skull.

The One currently being mauled by a dragon can do naught but struggle in its death throes as it is ripped to shreds.

Not a second longer from gold and purple meteor, a gold streak flies off heading for the Leviathan fighting against Azuli, only this time, accompanied by arcing streaks of red. Momentarily, Ember was seen above the Leviathan's head, weapons drawn before repeating the same move she pulled off at the first Leviathan they've fought, albeit in a more destructive way thanks to overall mastery of her weapon. (edited)

The flames around Azuli intensified as she simply pushed through it, evaporating the water with her heat as she planted her fist upon the bottom of it's jaw, punching the maw shut

"Heads up Jo!" Crimson calls out before taking out Grimseeker from the hole the pilebunker made and switching places with her leader Then starts to line up another throw at the remaining Leviathans

Mimi whittles down one of them as she flies by like a wasp around the same leviathan hit by Crimson, targeting its vitals if she remembers her Grimm Anatomy properly. While she isn't built for taking down really big targets, she can somewhat maintain a tempo using her speed to deal sustained damage instead of burst. (edited)

Needs To Be Studied

"Heads up Jo!" Crimson calls out before taking out Grimseeker from the hole the pilebunker made and switching places with her leader Then starts to line up another throw at the remaining Leviathans

"Déjà-vu" Joss said as he right now directly above the leviathan Crimm has damaged He reel his fist before punching the leviathan multiple times "Make it a double!" "How about more?!" Two clones sprouts and follow the barrage of punches with the original

Meanwhile, Azuli promptly punched the head off of the Grimm she was focusing on, even as Ember went to work on the opposite side of the massive beast

Unfortunately, spinning all over a Leviathan's back means that one would end up down at the sea inevitably, so before she reaches the water, Ember launches herself off with recoil before blasting her way back and then going for a second trip on its back, only this time, she's spinning upwards.

10:03 AM

Amidst all this Azuli looked around, looking to see how everybody else was doing, and checking up on the status of the military defenses

Ember finishes with one last cut to its smacked head, launching her upwards and just... Kinda helplessly staying mid-air for a moment. "Oh uh... Help?" The flightless biped manages to say to the flying people before she starts plummeting to the ocean. (edited)

Azuli descended in a blur, catching Ember before she could hit the ground

Getting Grimmified was kind of a new thing

"Pheyow, that was a workout. I gotta air out the vents for a moment."

"First of all. Fuck you" "Secondly. You never seen our dick. You literally never shower with the guys before"

"Guys night." (edited)

10:28 AM

Crim never join the communal shower after combat training

Foremost Soak Hater

"Guys night." (edited)

Joss blinked "Did you strip me while i was asleep?" "Az. Bonk your boyfriend"

"It was Jaune's idea."

Both promptly received a bonk

Crimson didn't know what Jojo was talking about ~~Tally marks~~ "Guh" the dog said, with a new source of head pain -# "the heck was that for..?" (edited)

The grimm didnt feel the hit! Hah!

"ack!" "Not me too!" "Grr.. anyway. We better hurry and help the city"

In the distance... -# "VI! YEET ME!"

After a moment's consideration Azuli picked up Crimson, ready to head back to the city. After an even further moment, she grabbed the monkey too, heading back towards the city

Ember

In the distance... -# "VI! YEET ME!"

-# "Understood" As Ember's figure can be seen rising above the buildings breifly

The orange streak was shot through several Nevermores, splitting all of it apart before it fell back down

Crimson resists the urge to go limp and looks for a target to throw Grimseeeker at

Ember

The orange streak was shot through several Nevermores, splitting all of it apart before it fell back down

The crazy Huntress almost got direct impacted by a shell from one of the Anti Air Flak Cannon emplacements.

-# "EEEEEY I'M FLYIN' HERE!" (edited)

"So..." The air travel is a bit silent so joss makes a conversation "Since when both if you have secret power? Monster? Elemental? Like. What?"

"I am not a wise faunus"

10:36 AM

It can be seen where Violet is fighting as crackles of lightning and sweeps of frost can be seen as an after affect of Violet clearing throught the streets, with some of the Grimm being launched into the air before disintegrating

You could say that again.

10:37 AM

Suspicious Crimson side eye

Joss looks up and read "...how did you write that while carrying both of us? or did you have that pre written?... don't answer that. I don't want to know how if it's the former"

-# "....wait did she wrote kill?"

Sigh "I guess it's a good thing that i don't need to teach you the moral dilema of killing a person...." "But do please don't make it the first option" -# unless it's adam

10:42 AM

Azuli was truly the peak of functional morality

Joss didn't say anything at that

The dragon is dragon deez nevermore against a cliff face on Iris's way out (edited)

After a short while the trio arrived, Azuli having quite the fast flight speed

The Evacuation of civillians into strongholds and shelters were completed, the group gathered just in time for one of the first atlesian fighters to drop a bombardment into the grimm horde outside the walls.

Azuli set the two down, trusting them to their own devices before returning to scorching the Grimm off the walls

"so it's done right?...wait. any of you seen the crown?"

Mimi spearheads through a weak and clumped up horde, piercing through them like a bullet as she arrives. "Oh right, the crown."

Crimson takes a step forward directly into a wall.

The headache starts to get worse with a tinge of worry now

"You okay bud?"

"No, I don't think I am"

10:55 AM

The Atlas fleet began to close in from the Horizon, ripping through the hordes of grimm around the city and closing down the airspace.

"Right. When they ask questions. Play dumb"

I'll do you one better, not even being here

Thank you. Random thoughts

10:58 AM

"Or do you guys want to leave?"

Azuli returned as the Grimm were corralled, looking to the group

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"Or do you guys want to leave?"

"Not really"

Ember was walking back to the group seemingly a bit dusty as she was reloading her handle's spent Crystal. "Well I had my fun, so uh, where are we headed to next now that we did our best to unfuck the situation?"

-# "Hm, I should contact headmaster and see if my job here is done."

"...we could disguise ourselves"

"Like Blake and her ribbon?" Says the bitch that disguised herself as a guy Probably badly (edited)

"Noo..." Joss quickly dash towards a clothes store

Azuli looked down at her very distinctive appearance. The return of the bush loomed in her shadow

She blinks, realizing what she was labelled as, and sighs. Taking something out from her pocket to start tying her hair into twin tails. Thankfully she grew out her hair. "Well, might as well make it one percent harder to ID me. Now if only I can shapeshift..."

And return with darker outfits. Different than his bright yellow ones. He also wear a black hair wig "I... found this cat ears accessories. It's fucked up. But should i wear it?"

Crimson looks at the accessories then back at him And gives a thumbs up

Before going fuck it and might as well join the rest of the team in switching outfits

"... I should probably find a wig too." Ember muses, looking for where he found the clothing store before moving inside to have a little look.

Joss took a selfie "Huh. Now i truly look like her brother"

Needs To Be Studied

Azuli did her best to clean up a bit, using a combination of water, and heated air to flash clean her outfit. She wasn't going to go steal any clothes however

"Dam. Crim. No homo. But you're better as a girl"

Man it felt weird having her hair down

Ember came back out looking... No different. "They didn't have anything drippy..."

Milky/Joss Jonquil 🇮🇩

"Dam. Crim. No homo. But you're better as a girl"

"You were better in a Maid dress"

11:11 AM

"Well...it was in the RV. So" Joss shrugged

Violet returns to the group as her halo starts to fade away "I ran out of Grimm that weren't being carpet bombed"

"uh...wait. how did you recognise us? Is the disguise not working?" The very black cat Faunus joss asked

"Unless you have professional level makeup, facial structure is the same. Also you all are activly holding huntsman weapons"

Genre Conceit, they are basically invisible rn...

Joss folds his gauntlet back into "non combat" state Cough "Anyway" "Let's just hide ourselves. We'll talk if they do find us But if they're not looking...well. it's fine right?"

-# "Hm, big boss isn't picking up."

Crimson puts Grimmseeker into a conveniently sized cello case

Ember rubs her chin for a moment before dusting almost the entirety of Raijin and Fujin, leaving the scabbard looking like a small and cute hairpin with a small fire icon on it, and a small portion of the handle now shaped like a small stick, which she then uses to tie her hair into a bun with the stick poking out while placing the hairpin to brush her bangs away. Perfectly hidden in plain sight! As long as she doesn't forget to restore before 24 hours passes. (edited)

Attempting to casually find her lost bag of fresh clothes and snacks while trying to stay undercover was... A little hard. Especially considering the place she dropped it in was somewhere not that far from the damaged military base. Though she's given up at this point in searching for it, she's more taken this time as an excuse to clear her head and reflect on the shitfest that just occurred in a span of a handful of hours, and who knows, maybe she'd find her bag miraculously having been blown over into the city. Scratching her cheek with a sigh through her nose as she wandered by the considerably emptier streets littered with gunshots, she finds herself wondering how she'd be able to fix a fuck up to this degree, even if it was completely shoved into her hands by force by her ever so reliable leader. She looks at an emptied cafe besides her, seeing her reflection its windows. Can she even deal with facing the harshness Atlas has been known for should she attempt to simply ignore the issue just because it wasn't her fault? Sure she signed up for a long, long journey ahead as it was personally handed to her by Professor Ozpin, which was an honor in of itself, but granted how it went to shit just because of a simple lack of thought... Was all this still worth it? Part of her wants to go back and just be done with this- Oh hey they left some cookies in there, shame she can't buy some right now- And another part of her wants to see this through, but neither are having as much fun anymore, even with the sick team up she just did with Azuli earlier... Not wanting to continue wanting for a sweet treat to soothe her headache with, she continues her walk, still musing about her current situation.

One of the military reinforcement's smaller airships passes by overhead, drawing the attention of a small handful of people still on the streets below, now moving with a lot less urgency at the sight of their arrival, a couple throwing up cheers at the bombing run "I wonder if they'll catch whoever did this?" someone muses off to Ember's side. It comes out awkwardly, like the question itself is in question

She finds herself replying with a snort, and a surprisingly spiteful- "I sure hope they do." The amount of spite in that tone alone was enough to snap her out of her smirk, quickly returning back to her thoughts. Enough to make her almost immediately forget about the person that spoke up, to which she turns to glance at. She was almost completely alone in the streets so it was a bit surprising to find someone nearby all of a sudden. In the event it actually was an Atlesian military officer, well, here's to seeing if her 'disguise' was enough. (edited)

The speaker was a woman in sunglasses who appeared to be in her late 20s, seeming as if she just walked out of a concert hall with a violin case on her back and its bow in hand She grimaced at the answer for some reason (edited)

Ember finds herself staring oddly at how she was holding onto a violin bow instead of just leaving it inside the case where it's safer, but didn't question it. Nor the grimace she mad shortly then. "What are you doing out here anyways? Heading for the bunkers too? Or just hoping to catch a trip to elsewhere in one of those birds?"

"Oh, um... yes, the bunkers of course. I'm not going anywhere else, I certainly have no reason to run," she responds, shuffling awkwardly at the stare "I just started to take my time after I saw the Schnee summon save us all, the air down there is terrible"

9:23 AM

'Gotta take the chance to brag, even if indirectly'

9:26 AM

She stares at her for a moment, the hint of that humblebragging giving her a sneaking suspicion to which she decides to look into. Literally. A massive benefit of her Semblance is the fact that it just looks like her eyes glow briefly and nothing more, without the recipient realizing their soul just got glanced at. Which, to no surprise granted by that random glazing plus the specific name drop of a Schnee... "... Really?"

9:27 AM

"Yes, of course!" LappGood

^ still oblivious

'Succesfully spreading the narrative will keep me out of trouble when the military arrives' evilcat

"Say, mind if I take a look at that there violin bow you got? It looks mighty interesting." She says, pointing at the supposed instrument. (edited)

9:40 AM

"Oh, it's nothing special, just Atlesian ironwood. You've seen everything there is to see," LappGood

"We should be getting a move on before any looters show up, you can hardly trust a faunus to have a discerning eye and they may consider our accessories more valuable than the clothes they are currently looting"

Ember quickly thinks on how to play along before deciding that baiting her would probably be the best course of action. "Yeah, good call, wouldn't be surprised if they were responsible for this mess too, it's just in their nature after all." Now to focus on not grinning like an idiot at the bait. (edited)

9:46 AM

An eye twitches behind the sunglasses. 'I forgot how much I hate this city. Shouldn't have lifted a finger for these human supremacists-' She tries to calm down, breathing out and passing it off as a laugh. 'It was JAGE's fault anyway' "Yes, too much monkeying around I suppose," she says detachedly, before turning to walk off

Aaand she gives up, a small chuckle escaping her, "Man I thought I'd at least get a funnier response from you." Ember says, crossing her arms with an amused smirk. "But I guess your acting's holding up." "Where the fuck did you guys go? What happened to Crim? Oh and hand me your supposed violin bow, I'm gonna make it easier for you to hide." She says, an open hand waiting for it as she decides for what cute pattern she wants to engrave on the ring she was about to make. (edited)

She freezes, turning around "Do we know each other?"

10:03 AM

Ember simply 'scans' her again, making her eyes glow orange.

"Ah" "Crimson turned into a Grimm and you gave a guard gender dysphoria for life, besides that I don't know anything that you guys don't" "I think our best strategy is escaping the city separately"

She snorts, "If it's of any worth, it's impossible for me to give people gender dysphoria, I lack the skill issue necessary for that. I do agree with that, though I don't quite know where the hell we'd rendezvouz. Especially since that jackass got the car scrapped to who knows where. Any ideas?" (edited)

"Back in Vale. Your team leader will figure something out, I'm sure"

She stares at her for a moment, an offended look of spite, irritation, and amusement on her face. A lot of choice words flew by but she decided to take a deep breath and sigh through her nose. "My only leader is Professor Ozpin." She simply replies. "I was gonna offer to turn your sword into a cute ring to help disguise it but given how we're splitting ways, I'll go meet you back there then. Oh and, if you perchance see a random backpack stuffed with stuff, can I ask of you to bring it back for me or nah?"

"Your... school backpack? Wouldn't that be at the base? But like okay, if I somehow stumble on it, sure." She stands there awkwardly as a silent moment passes by, before leaving off with, "anything else?*

"I mean like, a hiking backpack with stuff but yeah just that. I'll see you at Vale then." Ember says, turning to leave with a wave.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The Atlas fleet had managed to beat back the encroaching horde of grimm with liberal use of heavy firepower and aerial bombardment. The city was relatively unharmed, the walls were still standing. The City Militia, along with soldiers from Atlas were already starting to subside the evacuation efforts and calm the populace. The Vast majority of them had already been brought to the city square, being kept under watch by several platoons of Knights and Soldiers. The civillians were beginning to grow restless with being forced to stand around in the open for seemingly no reason, however, before unrest truly could settle in, a Soldier in General's regalia made her way on top of a truck with a megaphone.

12:42 PM

"Citizens of Argus, we understand your unrest and wishes to go home and are doing our best to expedite the process."

There were many cheers.

12:43 PM

The general waited for the noise to die down.

12:45 PM

# "However i must inform you! There are terrorists loose inside the city! The same people that caused the chaos and explosions you no doubt heard earlier today in fact! These maniacs have killed the esteemed protector of Atlas, Commander Cordovin in cold blood! So i will be asking for your patience while we track them down."

Far away, in the Industrial District, a warehouse collapses into rubble as reality bleeds a royal magenta.

THE CITY STATE OF ARGUS

The Atlas fleet had managed to beat back the encroaching horde of grimm with liberal use of heavy firepower and aerial bombardment. The city was relatively unharmed, the walls were still standing. The City Militia, along with soldiers from Atlas were already starting to subside the evacuation efforts and calm the populace.

As the soldiers march through the streets, Iris looks towards them from the outskirts, on a second story of an abandoned building Letting them pass by her sight one by one as her semblance takes in the information of their being, she spots the captain of the nearest squad Moving away from the window, she lets her form melt away and be replaced with one mirroring that last soldier, as she uses his form to find out how much the soldiers know and what their plans are, allowing his brain to guide her through the necessary steps (edited)

Her helmet made some static for a moment before stabilizing.

12:08 PM

-# "This is Atlas Actual #1, we've established comms with the Argus base soldiers. Commander Cordovin's corpse has been recovered from the Titan."

12:09 PM

-# "On site forensics says the wound matches one of the weapons from the Beacon students, Over."

'Corpse??? Holy moly what did those maniacs DO' (edited)

The line goes dead for a moment before a thick and modulated voice comes through.

12:11 PM

"Blade One patching in. Crimson Gerhart has been set to Dead or Alive, over."

A squadron of Atlesian Knight Mark V's marched down the street as a small group of flying drones scanned apprehensive civillians with beams of light before moving on.

Several of the civilians are particularly harassed by the passing soldiers. With a very noticeable throughline between them. Iris suppresses her rage as she turns into them one by one. There \is* actually a White Fang hideout in the city, not that most of the random faunus facing heightened scrutiny would know about it. But a stopped clock is still right twice a day, as one of them actually is a brother, who unknowingly provides her with the information she needs*

12:52 PM

Huh, actually a bunch of them were brothers and sisters

12:52 PM

Crazy coincidence, huh (edited)

A solid 40% of the faunus being harrassed were white fang.

12:54 PM

'The scrutinity only proves why they felt the need to join' clearly

12:58 PM

Nonetheless, that hideout was more secure than anywhere else to hide at the moment and gave the best chance of a solid head start, so she promptly snuck over while avoiding the gaze of the patrolling robots and soldiers. Better move now than later as they finish their collections and establish their presence more solidly

The Entrance to the hideout, a warehouse was right in front of her. The Steel door was shut but she knew the location of the spare key thanks to one of the Brothers.

Under the carpet...

Iris is filled with a sense of uneasiness as she enters through the door. The lights are off and the inside is very dark despite it being daytime outside.

1:08 PM

As she takes a few steps inside, a coppery, tangy scent hits her nose.

She stops Everything feels off Cautiously she transforms again, stepping forward in Weiss's shape before she summons a tiny Ursa in front of her, trusting its set of senses to guide her towards the tunnel out of the city and away from whatever the source of her unease and the smell was as the dark was so absolute her original faunus senses were of little help regardless (edited)

The Ursa led her down a corridor that she could remember from the local members memories. The summon started to go down the stairs leading into the basement.

1:21 PM

The closer they got, the worse the smell got.

She follows cautiously, rapier raised in case of trouble (edited)

1:24 PM

And then the ursa vanished She froze This darkness and the annihilation of a semblance... Mos enjoyed scaring her with this particular bogeyman... (edited)

1:24 PM

She turns in an attempt to make it back out before it's too late

Three baleful spots glowed in the unnatural darkness. Slitted eyes staring at her from above.

1:26 PM

"Iris Merten. In the name of Atlas, surrender."

She attempts to change form again, hoping Ruby at least was fast enough to outrun the Blade

1:27 PM

Nothing

1:27 PM

Her aura was gone

1:27 PM

She feels a sudden urge... (edited)

1:32 PM

The Darkness slowly receded as the Monster began to walk towards her with heavy footfalls.

Iris felt her Aura, her Immortal soul, recede deeper and deeper each time the monster took a step closer to her.

2:15 PM

Its heavy combat boots, stained with blood, left wet splats on the stairs as it approached.

As the Butcher finally stepped off the stairwell, the darkness in the basement cleared, revealing the brutalized corpses of many faunus. (edited)

2:30 PM

"Lay down your weapon."

She's nearly overwhelmed by an all-encompassing sense of vertigo at the sight of death she's avoided for years by staying far from the dirty work she knew existed but turned a blind eye to She feels bile rising up her throat, lacking the level of control the semblance usually gave her to suppress it completely Her head is swimming with conflicting urges, her primal fight or flight instincts screaming at her to run, hide, play dead, any shameful action necessary to survive; and her emotions turning dark, telling her to accept that HE was always right, in the end, about what had to be done But at her heart, she couldn't accept either of these. Just looking away again wasn't an option anymore. But violence had to be tempered. Treat all as equal, but do not be afraid to strike back when struck. And so, she steels herself to try and kill the Monster in front of her on her own, as impossible as it may be. Not for the sake of it, but to protect. (edited)

8:08 PM

That thought lingers in her head, growing louder and louder, before

8:08 PM

Iris feels her heart pound and her aura rush back at full force, moments before her vision gets whited out alongside a pounding headache.

8:12 PM

The Monster in front of her gets caught by the blinding ray of light moments before his hand could reach her. The Butcher's left arm and half of his torso along with his mask are rapidly petrified by the strange light.

8:16 PM

It stands motionless for a few momemts as Iris sways on her feet. And then, it takes a step forward again, its petrified armor, arm and mask shattering and falling to the floor in a mass of marble as black ooze begins to seep from the gaping 『』▂▂▃▃▅▅---- ▂▂▃▃▅▅ ■■■■ーー！！

8:17 PM

Iris' eyes begin to bleed as the Ooze drips onto the floor, reality seeming to bleed in its wake, left with terrible crimson and deep liliac scars in the fabric of space.

8:22 PM

A baleful red 「」set deep into the darkness composing its head narrowed as Iris began to lose hold of her consciousness.

She is spared from further mental pain inflicted by 「」 when Weiss's muscles fail her, and so she falls backwards as she completely loses consciousness having all energy drained from her body by the mysterious glow (edited)

The affront against reality clenches its remaining fist as its aura springs forth, a deep crimson shimmering with royal purple. The Manifestation of its soul contains the scar leaking desolation into reality as it is hidden away under a near opaque shimmer of aura.

8:30 PM

"Blade Two Containment Failure. Iris Merten captured, subject is Unconscious, immediate exfil required."

8:31 PM

Its Voice, no longer modulated by the mask, came out in an echoing rasp that resonated off of every piece of crystal inside the basement. (edited)

8:33 PM

The Massive creature leans down and, unexpectedly gently picks up the Silver Eyed Warrior before marching away surrounded by an everpresent black mist.
